ADHD Assessments for Adults – Available Across Australia

Difficulties with attention, organisation, or task follow-through can significantly affect daily life. At Mind & Health Psychology, we offer professional online ADHD assessments for adults across Australia. Assessments are conducted by a registered psychologist via secure telehealth and incorporate evidence-based tools and structured clinical interviews.

What the ADHD Assessment Involves

Our assessments include several components commonly used in psychological evaluations of ADHD:

Cognitive Tasks

You will complete computer-based tasks such as the Sustained Attention to Response Test (SART), Go/No-Go Test, and Trail Making Test. These tools assess elements of attention, impulsivity, and executive functioning.

Standardised Questionnaires

Self-report rating scales are used to identify symptoms and patterns consistent with ADHD. These include tools such as the WURS, ASRS, and CAARS, which are supported by peer-reviewed literature and clinical use.

Clinical Interview

A structured interview is conducted by psychologist Stephen O’Malley (or a provisionally registered psychologist under his supervision). The interview includes discussion of developmental history, academic and occupational functioning, and helps differentiate ADHD from other conditions.

Diagnostic Summary Letter

Following the assessment, you will receive a written summary outlining:

  • Whether ADHD diagnostic criteria were met

  • An overview of the assessment process and clinical formulation

  • Information to assist with treatment planning

This document is suitable for sharing with GPs, psychiatrists, or NDIS providers. A full psychological report may be requested if required for legal, educational, or workplace purposes (additional fee applies).

Key Information

  • Most often all assessment components are completed remotely (some people may choose to attend an in-office appointment with a Psychologist and this may involve an extra cost)

  • A single video/in person consultation is typically sufficient

  • Video Sessions are conducted via secure, encrypted platforms

  • Assessments are conducted by a registered psychologist or a provisionally registered psychologist under supervision
