Purpose of Assessment
Allied health assessments are suitable for individuals needing evaluation of communication, physical functioning, behaviour, mental health, nutritional status, or daily living skills. Assessments are tailored to identify strengths, support needs, and functional capacity across life stages.
- Individuals with disabilities
We provide allied health assessments for individuals with developmental or acquired disabilities, including neurological conditions, intellectual disability, autism spectrum presentations, and physical impairments. These assessments help identify functional capacity, participation needs, and appropriate supports across home, work, and community environments.
- Individuals with mental health or behavioural concerns
For individuals experiencing emotional regulation difficulties, behavioural challenges, or psychological concerns, assessments can help clarify contributing factors and support needs. This may include a psychological assessment or behavioural assessment to guide future intervention planning in line with professional standards.
- Individuals with sensory or physical support needs
Individuals experiencing sensory processing issues, mobility limitations, or challenges with strength, coordination, or daily tasks may benefit from occupational therapy or physiotherapy assessments. These evaluations identify practical strategies, environmental considerations, and equipment recommendations where appropriate.
- Individuals with chronic health conditions
Allied health assessments can play an important role in supporting individuals managing chronic health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, renal conditions, cancer, or neurological disorders. Assessments help identify how a condition is affecting everyday functioning, nutritional status, mobility, communication, or mental health, and can inform practical, goal-directed therapy planning.

What to expect during an assessment
- Initial discussion and background information
We begin by discussing relevant history, goals, and background information. This may include medical history, educational information, previous reports, and current support arrangements.
- Structured assessment activities
The clinician conducts standardised and/or observational assessment activities relevant to the referral concerns. These activities are selected based on age, presentation, and the purpose of the assessment.
- Feedback and recommendations
Following the assessment, feedback is provided outlining key findings. Where appropriate, written reports and recommendations are prepared to support therapy planning or NDIS documentation requirements.
