The Assessment Process
At Brainstorm Assessment, we aim to make the assessment process as straightforward and accessible as possible.
Every assessment begins with an understanding of the concerns being raised. From there, we determine the most appropriate assessment approach, complete the necessary assessments and prepare a comprehensive written report outlining the findings and recommendations.
Your Assessment Journey
Step 1 – Complete the Intake Form
The first step is to complete our short online assessment enquiry form.
The form asks for basic information about the person being assessed, the main areas of concern and any previous assessments or diagnoses. You can also upload relevant reports or referral letters.
There is no fee to submit an enquiry.
Step 2 – Referral Review and Assessment Planning
Once we receive your enquiry, we review the information to determine whether our services are appropriate and which assessment would best address the concerns raised.
We may contact you if further information is needed.
We will then advise you of the recommended assessment, the applicable fee and the next steps.
Submitting an enquiry does not guarantee that an assessment appointment will be offered.
Step 3 – Booking Your Assessment
If we are able to offer an assessment, you will receive instructions for booking your appointment.
A $252 booking deposit is required to confirm the booking. This amount is credited towards the total assessment fee.
Before confirming your appointment, please ensure that you have read our Terms and Conditions, including the cancellation policy.
We require at least seven days' notice to cancel or reschedule an assessment appointment. Late cancellations and missed appointments may incur cancellation fees.
Step 4 – Attending the Assessment
Assessments are conducted at our Bunbury practice, with the appointments and assessment activities determined by the individual's needs.
Depending on the assessment, the process may include standardised psychological testing, interviews, questionnaires and information from parents, teachers or other relevant people.
Some assessments require more than one appointment.
We will explain what to expect and provide any necessary instructions before your appointment.
Step 5 – Preparing Your Report
Following the assessment, we review and interpret the results alongside relevant background information and other available evidence.
A comprehensive written report is prepared, outlining the findings, clinical conclusions and practical recommendations.
The report is tailored to the purpose of the assessment and the individual's circumstances.
Step 6 – Report Delivery and Follow-Up
Once the report has been completed, we will advise you that it is ready.
The outstanding assessment fee must be paid in full before the report is released, subject to applicable legal and professional obligations.
The report will then be provided securely to the client or an appropriately authorised person.
A separate feedback consultation is not routinely included. However, an optional telehealth appointment can be arranged if you would like to discuss the findings and recommendations in greater detail.
Additional consultations are charged at $252 per hour.
