ADHD Assessment at Mindaras, Helensvale
Clear Answers. A Clear Path Forward.
Wondering whether ADHD explains the struggles you are seeing, whether that is a child who cannot settle at school, a teenager who forgets everything the moment it leaves your mouth, or your own lifelong pattern of starting ten things and finishing none of them?
You do not need to keep guessing. Mindaras Psychology Clinic in Helensvale offers thorough, evidence-based ADHD assessments for children, teenagers and adults across the Northern Gold Coast, including Coomera, Oxenford, Pacific Pines, Hope Island, Upper Coomera, Ormeau and Nerang.
An ADHD assessment with our team is not a rushed tick-box exercise. It is a proper, structured process that looks at the whole picture, so whatever we find, you walk away with something genuinely useful: real answers and a real plan.
Who This Is For
Parents who suspect their child may have ADHD and want clarity before starting school interventions or considering next steps
Teenagers whose grades, friendships or confidence are being affected by attention or impulsivity difficulties
Adults who have wondered "is this ADHD?" for years, often after a child's diagnosis prompted them to look closer at their own patterns
Anyone who wants a proper written report to support school planning, workplace adjustments, or further medical review
What's Included
We break down our prices to give you optimal clarity and flexibility, meaning we can tailor an assessment package to your individual needs
ADHD Screening and Consultation — $295
A focused first step. This session gathers your history and current concerns, runs an initial screening using validated ADHD measures, and gives you a clear recommendation on whether a full diagnostic assessment is the right next step. Ideal if you want a professional opinion before committing to the full process.
ADHD Diagnostic Assessment — $1,050
Our comprehensive assessment. This involves a detailed developmental, family and medical history, standardised rating scales completed by you and, for children, by parents and teachers, structured clinical interviews, and careful consideration of other conditions that can look like or sit alongside ADHD, such as anxiety, learning difficulties or autism. You will leave with a clear diagnostic outcome and practical recommendations.
A concise summary of the assessment findings and diagnosis, suitable for general use such as informing family decisions or basic school communication.
Brief Report — additional $250
OR Comprehensive Report — additional $600
A detailed written report covering assessment findings, diagnostic reasoning and tailored recommendations, suitable for schools, workplaces, further medical review, or supporting documentation for additional services.

Complete the diagnostic assessment. Rating scales, interviews and history gathering, done thoroughly rather than rushed.

Choose your report. A brief summary or a comprehensive report, depending on what you need it for.
Why Families Choose Mindaras for ADHD Assessment
Thorough, not rushed. We take the time to understand the full picture, because a good assessment should tell you something useful, not just confirm what you already suspected.
Genuinely local. Based in Helensvale, we are an easy, central option for families right across the Northern Gold Coast, without the drive south to Southport or Robina.
Clear pricing, no surprises. You will know exactly what each stage costs before you book. No vague quotes, no hidden extras.
Warm and approachable. Whether it is your child, your teenager, or you being assessed, our team makes the process feel manageable, not clinical and cold.
Part of a bigger picture. If the assessment uncovers anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, or other concerns alongside ADHD, Mindaras also offers therapy, EMDR and ongoing support so you are not left figuring out the next step alone.
Common Questions
Do I need a GP referral for an ADHD assessment? No referral is required to book an ADHD assessment with us. If you would like to explore Medicare-rebated therapy alongside the assessment, a Mental Health Care Plan from your GP may be relevant for those separate sessions.
Is the ADHD assessment covered by Medicare? ADHD assessments are a private fee for service and are not typically eligible for a Medicare rebate. We are always upfront about costs before you book, so there are no surprises.
How long does the whole process take? This depends on the complexity of your situation, but most families move through screening, assessment and feedback within a small number of appointments, without the long delays common at busier clinics.
Can you assess adults as well as children? Yes. We assess children, teenagers and adults, using age-appropriate tools and approaches for each.
What happens after the assessment? You will receive a clear outcome, practical recommendations, and the option of a report to support next steps, whether that is school accommodations, further medical review, or ongoing therapeutic support with our team.
