  3. Feedback and next steps
    You’ll receive a detailed report and guidance on support options.

Triage Appointments - Pre Assessment

What is a triage appointment?
The triage appointment is the first step in the process. It helps us understand your child’s needs and recommend the most appropriate assessment pathway.

What to expect
During this 90-minute online appointment, we will:

  • Talk through your concerns and your child’s current challenges

  • Explore developmental, behavioural, and emotional history

  • Identify patterns and key areas of need

  • Recommend the most appropriate next steps

Cost $396.75 (incl. GST)

What Happens Next

Following the triage appointment, we will guide you through the next steps.

Assessment
A comprehensive assessment may be recommended to explore whether ADHD and/or Autism is contributing to your child’s experiences.

Feedback and next steps
After the assessment, you’ll receive:

  • An overview report

  • Recommendations for support

You can then decide what feels right for your child — there is no pressure to continue beyond this stage.
