FAQ
Frequently asked questions about neuropsychological assessment in Bathurst
Do I need to travel to Wollongong for an assessment?
Not necessarily. Neuroads serves Bathurst and the Central West through outreach visits and hybrid telehealth models. Some components of an assessment can be completed via video, and Neuroads schedules in-person sessions in regional areas throughout the year. The intake process will clarify the best arrangement for your situation.
What is the difference between a neuropsychological assessment and a standard psychological assessment?
A neuropsychological assessment looks specifically at how the brain supports thinking, learning, attention, memory and behaviour. It is designed to untangle complex or overlapping concerns — for example, when ADHD, autism, trauma and learning difficulties may all be contributing to the picture. A standard psychological assessment may focus more on emotional wellbeing or a single diagnostic question.
Can adults in Bathurst access ADHD or autism assessment through Neuroads?
Yes. Neuroads works with adults who are exploring whether ADHD, autism or another neurodevelopmental profile may explain longstanding patterns in attention, social communication, sensory experience or executive functioning. Late identification in adulthood is common and assessments are designed to consider the full picture, including masking and compensatory strategies.
Can children in Bathurst be assessed for ADHD or autism through Neuroads?
Yes. Neuroads assesses children from age 3 and works closely with families to understand developmental history, school concerns, behaviour and cognitive profile. The goal is always to provide clear, practical guidance — not just a label.
Do I need a referral to access Neuroads?
No, you do not need a referral to access any of Neuroads' Neuropsychology assessement services. However, there are a few types of assessments that can qualify for a small rebate when referred by a pediatrician. Complete the intake form and Neuroads can clarify the most appropriate pathway for your situation.
Can Neuroads assessments be used for NDIS applications?
Yes. Neuroads provides functional capacity assessments and detailed reports that can support NDIS access requests, plan reviews and support coordination.
How long does the assessment process take?
Timeframes vary depending on the presenting concerns, whether records need to be reviewed, and whether sessions are completed through outreach, telehealth or a hybrid arrangement. The intake process is used to confirm the likely timing for your situation before assessment begins.
How much does a neuropsychological assessment cost?
Assessments start from $1,800. Reduced fees may be available for combined assessments where appropriate. The process includes assessment sessions tailored to the presenting concerns, a detailed written report and a feedback meeting to walk through findings and next steps.
