Reflections Psychology Services have Psychological Testing available for both Adults and Children. We have both fully registered and provisional psychologists available for assessment. Fees vary depending on the psychologist and battery of tests used.
All assessment requires a standard initial appointment (rebate may be available), dedicated assessment session(s), report, and will often also include a feedback session for the psychologist to go through the report with you. This may vary depending on the type of assessment you require and will be confirmed or tailored to suit you during your initial appointment.
