Waiting List Times & Steps
Autism
There is no waiting time. We can complete your assessment within 1 week, or choose a date that suits you.
ADHD
There is no waiting time for assessment. Process is via clinic time, carer or self assessment and assessment via simple checklists from external community e.g. teacher, work
Disability
There are no wait times, but assessment depends on complexity and requires functional capacity assessment (how you do things at home and work), and what needs you require to be supported.
