What an autism assessment may include
Depending on the referral questions and the information available, an assessment may include:
- interview / developmental history (parent/caregiver interview for children)
- direct assessment session (where clinically appropriate)
- consent-based information gathering (e.g., school input and prior reports, if helpful)
- a written report with practical recommendations
- a feedback session to discuss findings and next steps
Cognitive assessment for Point Cook (children, adolescents, and adults)
We also offer cognitive assessment. People may enquire about cognitive assessment when they want a clearer picture of thinking, learning, attention, memory, or day-to-day functioning at school, work, or home.
The most suitable assessment approach depends on age, the referral question, and any supporting documentation.
If you’re enquiring about a cognitive assessment, it helps to share:
- age of the person being assessed
- the main questions you want answered
- any prior reports (school reports, prior assessments, specialist letters) if available
- whether a GP, paediatrician, psychiatrist, or school has requested a particular type of report

Frequently Asked Questions (Point Cook psychologist)
Are you located in Point Cook?
No. Appointments are provided at our clinic in Werribee (Wyndham). Many Point Cook clients choose to travel for access to a particular service or clinician.
Do you offer both therapy and assessments?
Yes. We provide adult counselling/psychotherapy, autism assessment for children and adolescents, and cognitive assessment. If you’re unsure what you need, call and we can help clarify the next step.

It helps to share your child’s age, the main concerns (home/school), any previous reports, and what you’re hoping an assessment will clarify.

Not currently. As of 11 February 2026, Julian is not accepting new adult autism assessment referrals. We are accepting enquiries for children and adolescents.
