Cognitive assessment · In person

Cognitive assessment that documents what you need.

Clear findings. Reports that institutions accept.

Assessment of cognitive and intellectual functioning, used to clarify a presenting picture, document eligibility for supports, and inform decisions about education, work and daily living. Assessment involves a structured clinical interview, developmental and educational history, validated measures selected for the individual, and behavioural observation. Because cognitive testing uses standardised, hands-on tasks, it is conducted in person rather than by video, and we arrange the details with you.

Common questions

Before you enquire

What is a cognitive assessment used for?+

Most commonly NDIS access and plan reassessments, Centrelink DSP applications, educational planning, workplace accommodations, and diagnostic clarification such as intellectual disability.

Who reads the report?+

Reports are written with the end reader in mind: NDIS assessors, Centrelink, schools, employers, GPs and psychiatrists. The findings and recommendations are clear and practical rather than buried in jargon.

Do you provide reports for legal matters?+

No. Wiser Minds does not provide medico-legal assessments or reports for court, insurance disputes, or other legal proceedings. Assessment reports are prepared for clinical, educational, workplace, and NDIS purposes.

Is a referral required?+

No referral is needed to enquire or to arrange the free consultation. Some funding pathways have their own requirements, which Andrew walks through with you in that first call.

Will the report guarantee NDIS access or the DSP?+

No. The report sets out measured cognitive and adaptive functioning and what it means for daily life, in the terms the NDIA and Centrelink assess against. The decisions themselves rest with those agencies. A clear report helps them decide using complete, clinically grounded evidence.
