An assessment is a structured way for a qualified professional or team to understand a person's strengths, needs and daily functioning. The method depends on the question being explored; one assessment does not answer every developmental, learning or health question.
The directory listings below are a starting point for enquiries, not endorsements or a guarantee of availability. Confirm current services, eligibility, fees and application details directly with each provider.
Service guide
Explore common approaches, what to expect, time commitments, and questions to ask a provider.
Find providers
A practitioner may ask about development, learning, health, strengths and everyday routines, and review relevant records.
Depending on the question, the assessment may include observation, questionnaires, interviews or standardized tasks.
More than one professional or setting may contribute when the question crosses health, learning or daily participation.
A guide to the process
There is no single length for an assessment. Appointment time, number of visits, scoring and report discussion depend on the question and tools; ask what is included and when results will be explained.
The route depends on whether the question is medical, developmental, educational or rehabilitation-related. The Department of Health's Child Assessment Service (CAS) is one pathway for children under 12; it publishes referral information. Public rehabilitation services have a separate Central Referral System, and schools have their own support processes. Confirm which route applies.
Assessment gathers and interprets information; therapy or teaching provides ongoing support. A screening is usually a brief check and is not necessarily a diagnosis.
