No, you do not need a referral to access our services. Simply get in touch with us, and we'll help you find the support that's right for your child and family.

• Students up to Year 8: Two sessions of approximately 2 hours each
• Students in Year 9 and above: One session of approximately 3–3.5 hours.

These timeframes are a guide only. The exact duration can vary depending on your child’s pace, processing speed, and need for breaks.

The written report is typically completed and sent within 3–4 weeks following the assessment. Certain factors can affect completion timeline. This can be:

• Public holidays
• Sickness or planned leave

There are a few important steps to help ensure the assessment is as accurate and meaningful as possible.

Before the appointment, you’ll be asked to complete an intake form and provide any relevant reports (such as school reports or previous assessments).

On the day, please:

• Ensure your child has had a good night’s sleep and has eaten
• Bring snacks and a drink for scheduled breaks
• Make sure any regular medication is taken as usual (if applicable)

When talking to your child, keep it positive and reassuring. You might explain that they’ll be doing some activities to help understand how they learn best, rather than describing it as a “test.”

These steps help your child feel comfortable and allow us to get the most accurate picture of their learning profile.
