No, you don’t need a referral.

If you have any existing examination or assessment information, please bring it with you, but you don’t need any type of referral to make an appointment with us.

thegrowspace is dedicated to providing thorough, quality assessments to clients of all ages. Whether you’re 90 and looking for answers or bringing in your three year old and don’t know where to start thegrowspace is here to guide you through the process with care and expertise.

While we are a team of psychologists and counsellors, we don’t offer any treatment or therapy ourselves in order to remain objective in our assessments. That doesn’t mean you’re on your own – once we’ve made a recommendation, we’ll help you find the best type of support for your child.

We run diagnostic assessments to help uncover any social, emotional, behavioural and learning challenges and deliver you an evidence-based and actionable recommendation.

This may include identifying signs of neurodiversity, attention deficit hyperactive disorders (ADHD), autism, learning difficulties, or any type of impairment.

Our recommendations can include a host of treatments and/or therapies based on what we discover throughout the assessment – it may be speech therapy, occupational therapy, speaking with a child psychologist, or any type of learning support.

We leave no stone unturned as we make an objective recommendation based entirely on you or your child’s needs.

While the assessment is not covered by the NDIS, you may be eligible for NDIS support for treatments and therapies based on our recommendation. We will be able to provide more information for your individual circumstances once we’ve finished our assessment.

There isn’t a waitlist. We will do our best to book you in as soon as possible.
