Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral for consultations?

You do not need a referral to see a Psychologist, however if you do obtain a Mental Health Care Plan, you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate for part of the consultation fee.

We can take on clients who have Self-Managed NDIS Plans.

Does SRD PSYCHOLOGY conduct assessments?

Yes, we conduct the following assessments:

  1. ASD Assessments

  2. Cognitive Assessments

  3. Psychoeducational Assessments

  4. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity (ADHD) Assessments

(Please note: ASD Assessments require a referral from a paediatrician . Cognitive and ADHD assessments do not require a referral).

What can I expect from therapy consultations for my child?

The initial consultation consists of parent/s and psychologists developing a tailored therapy plan based on your child’s presenting concerns.

The Client Service Agreement will also be discussed.

In subsequent sessions, consultations involve:

  • Working with the child using positive and effective activities to develop behaviour, social, emotional and learning goals.

  • The psychologist discussing strategies, goals, questions and completing any necessary administration with parents.

Please note, we also offer Telehealth consultations.

How long are therapy consultations? And how regular?

Standard therapy consultations on-site are 50 minutes, with clinical notes being written during and after session. Kinder, childcare and school visits are 100 minutes to enable the psychologist to also consult with teachers and educators.

We generally see clients on a weekly or fortnightly basis depending on their therapeutic goals. This can be discussed during the initial consultation.

Do you have a Fee Schedule and Cancellation Policy?

Yes, please email us at info@srdpsychology.com for the Fee Schedule and Cancellation Policy. Consultation payment must be made by EFTPOS, MasterCard or Visa at the end of the consultation.
