Questions about the gifted assessment
What can the results lead to?
The report gives recommendations, and can help you and the school consider options such as academic extension, enrichment or acceleration.
Do we need a GP referral?
No. Parents can contact Psychology House directly. Referrals from GPs, school psychologists, psychiatrists, paediatricians and other health professionals are also welcome.
Does Medicare cover it?
Psychological and educational assessments are generally not covered by Medicare, even with a GP mental health plan. Some private health insurers cover parts of the process, so check with yours.
