Assessment needs

Blanche only offers assessment/diagnosis of Autism & ADHD for adults over 18 years of age and does not assess/diagnose other presentations eg learning disability, dyslexia, Intellectual Disability/cognitive functioning, personality disorders etc.
What assessment are you seeking?*

Autism + ADHD (adult)Autism only (adult)ADHD only (adult)Other
Details if 'other'
With your assessment, you can receive either a detailed report or a shorter summary letter. Which would you prefer?

ReportSummary letter
Why are you seeking assessment at this time?
For example, to learn more about myself, to receive recommendations for support, to take to a psychiatrist, to use as evidence for required accommodations in the workplace/study place.
ADHD & Medication

Blanche can provide an ADHD diagnosis as a psychologist but is not able to prescribe medication. In Australia, only psychiatrists can prescribe ADHD medication. If you are considering medication, it may be more cost-effective to see a psychiatrist directly. A referral from your GP is required to see a psychiatrist, and you do not need to see a psychologist beforehand.
Only complete if you are enquiring about ADHD assessment.

I understand that a psychiatrist consultation is required for ADHD medication to be considered and prescribed. I still want to enquire about ADHD assessment with Blanche.
NDIS considerations
- Blanche does not complete NDIS access request forms or address funding requirements in detail in reports.
- Blanche's assessments provide a diagnosis (including a 'level of support' for Autism assessments) and are not likely on their own to provide enough evidence of functional capacity for NDIS purposes.
- If you are wanting to use the diagnosis for NDIS purposes, please check directly with NDIS what you need before agreeing to assessment.
Please indicate your understanding below:*

I understand that I am responsible for determining if the assessment is right for my needs, including any NDIS-related considerations.
Medicare Rebates and Private Health
- 25 year olds and over are not eligible for a Medicare rebate for assessments.
- Under 25 year olds may be eligible for a Medicare rebate for autism assessments. A referral is required by a psychiatrist or a paeditrican to access this rebate and must be obtained prior to beginning the assessment.
- Some private health funds may cover some of the cost of psychological assessment. You will need to check with your insurer prior to beginning the assessment.
Please select the option that applies to your circumstances:*

I am not eligible / do not intend to use a Medicare rebate and will be paying for the assessment privately.I am aged under 25 years and intend to use the Medicare rebate.

Assessment fees listed are for standard assessments. If your needs are more complex (such as where more enquiry is needed regarding personality disorder, bipolar, eating disorder, trauma, physical health conditions etc), extra time may be required and billed at my usual hourly rate - I will always discuss this with you first.
