Bronwyn Hall
Clinical Neuropsychologist

The cost of neuropsychological assessment and report varies according to type of service required.

The assessment itself often takes several hours to complete depending on the complexity, information available, and number of referral questions that need to be addressed.

Completion of the neuropsychological assessment and report often takes between 10 to 15 hours to complete. This includes the time spent one-on-one with the neuropsychologist, retrieval of relevant documentation (e.g., health records), report writing, phone calls and feedback. 

Assessment and report for diagnostic and NDIS purposes are priced by the hour ($214.41 per hour). The time requirement for this service typically ranges between 8 and 15 hours. Additional time is required for feedback sessions and / or assessment of decision making capacity.

Medico-legal assessments and reports for criminal and civil matters generally range from $2,900 to $4,200, depending on the complexity and volume of materials associated with the case.

Assessments requiring travel outside of the Melbourne-metro area will also incur additional fees. 

Payment from new referrers are expected prior to the release of the report, which occurs within 2 to 4 weeks from the assessment. Payments via bank transfer are preferred.

Given the length of the assessment, a cancellation fee applies if notice of cancellation is not given in advance with at least 48 hours' notice, as the day cannot be filled with another appointment.

Deposit of cancellation fee is required for privately paying clients. 

At this stage neuropsychological assessments are not funded by Medicare. 

Please check with your private health insurer for rebate advice regarding neuropsychological assessments/testing (i.e., not psychological therapy).
