Andrew has untaken countless hours of training and supervision to ensure that he addresses his assessments in a manner that accounts for diagnostic overshadowing. His assessments also rule in and out alternative diagnoses or co-occurring diagnoses to the best of his ability and expertise.

NDIS Assessments

Andrew’s has vast training and experience in single assessment and diagnostic services. To date he has assessed over 400 people, young people and children. Reports that he has written for NDIS have led to a high acceptance rate to date.

To satisfy a recent shift relating to NDIS – applicable single assessments, less than a handful of Andrew’s reports have been required to be co-signed by a clinical psychologist. Andrew has now completed his Masters of Clinical Psychology and will complete the clinical psychology registrar program in 2025. This will lead to clinical psychologist endorsement. In this context the need for reports to be co-signed for NDIS is anticipated as remote.

Please note that Andrew does not conduct Telehealth assessments for those under 12yo. For further information on autism & ADHD click here.

Functional Capacity Assessments (FCA’s)

Previously diagnosed individuals are able to see Andrew for FCA’s. Owing to the length of the appointment, several “rounds” of assessments are required to be undertaken prior to the appointment. Eligibility for FCA’s also requires individuals to share previous diagnostic reports and relevant collateral history prior to “round 2” assessments being sent out. Further, Andrew then requires 5 business days after the appointment to review the relevant assessment and clinical interview information prior to formulation of “levels” or current support needs.
