Achieve Better Outcomes: Comprehensive Assessments and Therapeutic Supports for Independent Living
We use the DSM-5 to provide comprehensive diagnostic assessments, allowing us to identify our clients' unique symptom profile and develop tailored treatment and interventions. Our practitioners are dedicated to working closely with our clients to ensure that they fully understand their diagnosis and what it means for their treatment. We are committed to providing high-quality, personalised care that helps our clients achieve their goals and live their best lives.
Our cognitive assessments provide valuable insights into our clients' intellectual strengths and weaknesses, which are key factors in determining their capacity for learning and their potential to benefit from certain types of supports. By identifying areas of strength and weakness, we can create a customised plan of care that helps our clients reach their full potential. Our assessments also play an important role in confirming the severity of intellectual disabilities, which is essential for accessing appropriate resources and support.
Our functional capacity assessments offer a comprehensive evaluation of our clients' current abilities to perform daily activities. We draw on information from IQ assessments, assessments of adaptive behaviours, interviews, and observations to provide a detailed understanding of our clients' needs. Our goal is to help our clients live as independently as possible, and our assessments identify areas where additional support may be required. We create personalised care plans that promote independence and well-being based on the valuable insights provided by our assessments.
Our functional capacity assessments provide valuable information that can inform recommendations for supported independent living ratios (SIL). SIL is a service that can help individuals with disabilities live more independently by providing them with the necessary support and resources to do so. Our assessments provide a detailed understanding of our clients' abilities, allowing us to tailor our SIL recommendations to their unique needs. By recommending the appropriate level of support, we empower our clients to live fulfilling lives with greater independence and autonomy.

What is DSM-5?
A DSM 5 refers to the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders version 5, written by the American Psychiatric Association, used by mental health clinicians as it contains descriptions, symptoms and other criteria for diagnosing mental disorders. The NDIS may request that a DSM 5 is completed by a qualified clinician to enable access or continuation of access to the scheme.
What is a cognitive assessment?
A cognitive assessment is an assessment conducted by a mental health clinician, to determine an individual’s learning capability by identifying their strengths, deficits and if required their overall intelligence quotient (IQ). This may be required by the NDIS to assist with identifying what assistance an individual may need to develop their capacity and independence.
