Diagnostic and cognitive assessments
We provide cognitive and neurodevelopmental diagnostic assessments to clarify a person’s cognitive abilities, developmental profile and diagnostic questions.
We provide a safe, respectful environment which is responsive to diversity in age, culture, gender, sexuality, viewpoint, ability, neurodiversity and personality.
Forensic Services
We provide forensic psychological services for adults at all stages of the criminal justice process: before charges or a plea, during community-based orders, imprisonment (where available) or parole, and after a sentence has been completed. Treatment addresses the factors associated with offending and aims to reduce the risk of reoffending.
Individual Sex Offender Treatment
Our Individual Sex Offender Treatment Program provides specialised treatment of individuals who have engaged (or are at risk of engaging) in unwanted sexual behaviour. We use offence-specific interventions aimed at enhancing personal responsibility for sexual behaviour and reducing risk of repeated misconduct. We provide treatment for online and offline sexual behaviour directed towards adults and children. We accept adults referred before or after sentence, including people alleged, charged or convicted, and people facing contested allegations where treatment is clinically appropriate. There is no group program.
Violent Offender Treatment
Our violent offender treatment focuses on addressing psychological issues that contribute to violence, such as emotional dysregulation, substance use, interpersonal difficulties, traumatic experiences, enabling attitudes, and mental health problems. Relevant offences include assaults, affray, family violence, stalking and harassment, violence related to drugs and alcohol, use of weapons, and other forms of violence.
Offence-specific Treatment
Our offence-specific treatment is focused on addressing specific psychological issues associated with an offence. We are experienced in dealing with a broad range of criminal offences, including theft, fraud, and other “white collar” offences. We base our treatment approach on a thorough assessment and clinical formulation of offence-relevant clinical problems and criminogenic factors.
Forensic assessments and expert reports
We provide forensic assessments and expert reports for pre-plea and sentencing hearings, parole matters and professional-board proceedings. This includes risk assessments addressing the questions raised in the referral.
We also accept enquiries about family-court assessments.
Assessment scope and timing are confirmed after reviewing the referral.
Professional Issues
During professional disciplinary proceedings, psychological treatment can address concerns raised by the relevant professional body. Our team is experienced in dealing with a range of professional bodies including the boards governing medical professionals, psychologists, teachers, accountants, real estate agents, church ministry applicants, immigration, and Working With Children Checks.
See our referral guidance and consultation, assessment and report fees before making an enquiry.
Our approach aligns with the Australian national aim to “build support programs that prevent offending, intervene before offending occurs and reduce repeat offending.”
