Online Psychological Assessments via Telehealth in Australia | ADHD, Autism & More

For years, accessing a comprehensive psychological assessment in Australia meant living near a major city, or travelling to one. For people in regional, rural, and remote areas, this was a significant and often insurmountable barrier to answers they genuinely needed.

Telehealth psychological assessments are changing that.

At Connection Point Psychology, I offer comprehensive online psychological assessments for children, teenagers, and adults across Australia, including ADHD assessments, autism assessments, learning difficulty evaluations, and more.

Can a psychological assessment really be done online?

This is the question I hear most often, and the answer is a confident yes, for the majority of assessment types.

Advances in validated telehealth assessment tools, combined with growing clinical evidence for their reliability and validity, mean that comprehensive psychological assessments can now be conducted entirely or predominantly via secure video platforms. My online assessments follow the same rigorous, evidence-based process as in-person assessments, adapted thoughtfully for the telehealth environment.

What assessments I offer via telehealth

ADHD assessment online My telehealth ADHD assessments are available for children, teenagers, and adults. The process includes clinical interviews, standardised rating scales completed by parents, teachers, or the individual, and validated cognitive and attention measures administered via video. The result is a comprehensive written report suitable for GPs, paediatricians, psychiatrists, schools, employers, and NDIS.

Autism assessment online Online autism assessments follow a thorough multi-method process including clinical interviews, developmental history, standardised autism-specific tools, and caregiver and teacher questionnaires. For children, parents are closely involved throughout. For adults seeking late identification, the process is adapted to reflect adult presentation and lived experience.

What you need for a telehealth assessment

Prior to your assessment, I'll provide detailed guidance on setup. In general, you'll need:

• A laptop, tablet, or desktop computer with a reliable camera and microphone

• A stable internet connection

• A quiet, private space where you won't be interrupted

• For children's assessments, a calm home environment and a parent or caregiver available nearby

I'll walk you through everything before your first session so there are no surprises.

Are telehealth assessments covered by Medicare or NDIS?

Assessment-related consultations and feedback sessions can attract Medicare rebates in some circumstances. NDIS funding may cover psychological assessments where this is included in a participant's plan. I recommend speaking with your GP or NDIS planner about the most appropriate pathway for your situation, and I’m happy to assist with any questions about funding and fees.

Serving Australians across the country
