Fees and charges apply depending on the scope of the assessment, the number of face to face sessions conducted as well as the length and scope of the final report. Typically a Psychologist will meet with the client and administer a series of neuropsychological, personality and clinical tests in addition to conducting a clinical interview. Additionally the psychologist may need to undertake a forensic review of medical records and other documentation in formulating an opinion.
A Forensic report may provide you, or your legal representative, with an assessment regarding your level of functioning; previous physical and psychological functioning; the psychological impact of any previous injury; the influence/impact (if any) of previous psychological or physical condition upon offending behaviour; and recommendations for behaviour modification (where appropriate).
Extra charges may apply for reports required urgently.
