NDIS Assessments & Reports (Sydney & Telehealth)

What is an NDIS Assessment?

An NDIS assessment evaluates how a person’s condition impacts their daily functioning, independence, and participation across key life domains.

This may include:

• Cognitive functioning
• Adaptive skills (daily living skills)
• Social and communication abilities
• Emotional and behavioural functioning
• Learning and academic skills

The goal is to provide clear, objective evidence of support needs and how these relate to NDIS funding.

I commonly provide reports for:

• NDIS access applications
• Change of circumstances/reassessment
• Plan reviews
• Supporting increased funding requests
• Clarifying diagnosis (e.g. Autism, ADHD, learning disorders)

I tailor each assessment to the individual, which may include:

• Autism assessments
• ADHD assessments
• Cognitive assessments (IQ testing)
• Academic assessments (learning disorders)
• Adaptive functioning assessments (functional capacity)
• Behavioural and emotional assessments

I focus on producing reports that are:

• Clear and clinically robust
• Aligned with NDIS legislation and criteria
• Focused on functional impact (not just diagnosis)
• Useful for support coordinators and planners
• Designed to maximise clarity around support needs

I understand the importance of:

• Linking assessment findings to real-world functioning
• Clearly outlining recommended supports
• Providing specific, practical justifications

Your report will typically include:

• Background and developmental history
• Standardised assessment results
• Diagnostic formulation (if applicable)
• Functional impact across daily life domains
• Clear recommendations aligned with support needs
• Language suitable for NDIS review processes

I regularly work with:

• Children, adolescents, and adults
• Families seeking NDIS access
• Support coordinators
• Plan managers
• Schools and allied health professionals

• Extensive experience in comprehensive psychological assessment
• Strong background in neuropsychological and diagnostic evaluation
• Reports written with NDIS expectations and decision-making processes in mind
• Clear, structured, and professional documentation

Do I need a diagnosis for NDIS?
Not always — functional impact is key, though diagnosis can strengthen applications.

How long does the assessment take?
Typically completed over 1–3 sessions, with a report provided within 2–3 weeks.

Can you help with autism applications?
Yes — I regularly complete assessments supporting both.

I offer:

• In-person assessments in Sydney
• Telehealth components where appropriate
• Flexible referral pathways (self-referral or professional referral)
