ADHD Assessments for Children & Teens
in Geelong

Compassionate, Personalised Care—Wherever Life Takes You.

Worried about your child’s focus, attention or behaviour?

Takes just a few minutes. A team member will contact you to confirm next steps.

We provide ADHD assessments for ages 6–18, with clear findings and a written report you can use for school, therapy planning and NDIS.

First step: Complete our referral form. This helps us connect your child with a clinician experienced in their age group and attention/behaviour profile, so the assessment is relevant and supportive from the beginning.

Why Parents Seek an ADHD Assessment

When focus, attention or behaviour is causing ongoing concern, an ADHD assessment can provide clarity and direction.

Families often seek an assessment for:

  • Persistent difficulty with focus, concentration or organisation

  • Challenges following instructions or completing tasks

  • Restlessness, impulsivity or difficulty sitting still

  • Behavioural concerns affecting home or school life

  • Concerns raised by teachers or school staff

Uncertainty about whether behaviours reflect ADHD or another issue

Why Families Choose Us

  • The right start matters → Every child is different. That’s why we begin with a referral form — so we can connect your child with a clinician suited to their needs. Many parents find this step reassuring, knowing their child won’t be placed at random.

  • Child & teen focus → Assessments designed for ages 6–18, with age-appropriate methods.

  • Multidisciplinary team → Psychologists and occupational therapists available where needed.

  • Clear reports that support action → Practical recommendations you can use with schools, NDIS and providers — not just a checklist.

  • Family-inclusive → Parents are involved at every step, with a safe space to share concerns openly and without judgment.

  • Local & accessible → Clinics in Newtown and Belmont, with telehealth available for some components.

What the Assessment Involves

Our assessments are designed to be thorough and child-friendly. Depending on age and circumstances, this may include:

  • Parent/carer interview and developmental history

  • Questionnaires for parents and teachers

  • Standardised attention and behaviour testing

  • Clinical observation of your child’s behaviour and focus

  • A feedback session to explain findings and recommendations

You’ll also receive a comprehensive written report with practical strategies for home and school, and guidance for therapy planning or funding applications.
