Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do an ADHD assessment completely online?+
Yes. BNC offers telehealth psychology sessions, which means your assessment sessions can be conducted via video call from anywhere in Victoria. Rating scales and questionnaires are completed online before sessions. The written diagnostic report is delivered electronically. Some components — such as certain cognitive tests — may be better conducted in person at our Doncaster clinic, and your psychologist will discuss the most appropriate approach for your situation.
Do I need a GP referral for an online ADHD assessment?+
No you do not need a GP referral. However, a GP referral is recommended as it unlocks Medicare rebates for up to 10 psychology sessions per year via a Mental Health Care Plan. You can self-refer to BNC without a GP referral, but you will pay the full fee without Medicare support. Contact us if you need guidance on how to approach your GP.
How long does an online ADHD assessment take?+
A comprehensive ADHD assessment typically involves 2–3 sessions over 2–4 weeks. This includes a clinical interview, standardised rating scales, cognitive testing, and a feedback session. You receive a full written diagnostic report. Online assessments follow the same thorough process as in-person — we do not cut corners.
Can my child be assessed for ADHD online?+
Yes. BNC assesses children from school age (approximately 5–6 years) for ADHD. Online assessment for children works best when parents participate in sessions and can assist their child to engage with video-based activities. A teacher questionnaire is also required — we will send this directly to you at the time of booking. Some children may be better assessed in person, and your psychologist will discuss this with you.
Is an online ADHD assessment as valid as in-person?+
Yes, when conducted by a qualified, AHPRA-registered psychologist using validated tools. Telehealth psychology is recognised by Medicare, AHPRA, and the Australian Psychological Society as a legitimate mode of service delivery. BNC's online assessments follow the same clinical process, use the same standardised tools, and produce the same quality of written report as in-person assessments.
