The big cost question

Updated November 2025 (please contact us for any further updates on costs - the amounts listed here are only relevant for the time of publication and may have changed).

When trying to find a psychologist to support your child, the question of how much is always forefront of your mind! It's a fair and reasonable question! Psychology assessments aren't cheap, so let's look at what you might expect to pay, and more importantly, what do you get for your investment?

I use the word 'investment' intentionally. You are paying for information, advice and guidance. This is an investment into your child's future. You may not see any immediate outcomes from your investment, but in the long run, the information should support you and your child's teachers to best understand and support them. Not only that, it will help your child understand themselves.

When you approach us for an assessment or support, you receive our knowledge, a commitment to gather the most useful information, and our time. This isn't just the time spent directly with you or your child; this is also the time we spend thinking about our assessment data, writing a report to explain the assessment in easy-to-read ways, emails or phone calls outside of visits/sessions and also the time we spend seeking new knowledge and information that we think will help your child.

Once we have collected assessment information, you will receive a comprehensive report explaining the information and findings. This will also contain recommendations for where to next.

So, back to the $$ question. For a learning assessment that includes 2 assessment sessions, feedback meetings and reports, you can expect to pay around $1550 incl GST. This will be a bit more if we also need to do a school observation or talk to their teacher.

A more comprehensive assessment, such as for Autism, will cost more due to the additional assessments that need to be completed. A full assessment typically costs $2200 incl. GST. An assessment that explores a combination of Autism/ADHD and learning needs is $2995incl GST.

I hope this answers any questions! Please feel free to contact us for any further clarification!
