Medicolegal Assessments

At PsyAx, we provide medicolegal assessments for court and tribunal hearings, personal injury and insurance claims, as well as evaluations of decision-making capacity and other legal or clinical matters.

All medicolegal assessments are conducted by senior clinical neuropsychologist Dougal Phillips, either face-to-face or via telehealth.

How much does it cost?

The fee for medicolegal assessments is $4,100 plus GST ($4,510 in total). This fee covers interview time and cognitive testing, test scoring, and report writing.

Please also note our policy of an extra documentation fee of $3 plus GST per pages which applies for material in excess of 50 pages. (There is no extra fee for material 50 pages or less.)

Transport Accident Commission (TAC) funded joint medicolegal assessments are charged at TAC rates directly to TAC.

How can I help my client prepare?

Appointments start at 9:00am and take most of the day (with breaks). Please ensure that clients are available for the whole day.

Please make sure that the client:

• is aware the assessment will go for most of the day with breaks (it helps them prepare)
• is encouraged to get a good night's sleep the night before
• is encouraged to avoid using alcohol or other substances prior to the assessment
• brings a list of any medications to the assessment
• has their glasses or hearing aids for the assessment if they use them
