The Dyslexia-SLD Association provides an independent psychological service that focuses on the assessment of Dyslexia and other Specific Learning Disorders. If the service is provided direct to the public there is no GST payable. If the service is provided via a third party then GST is payable. In addition to the assessment we provide for the monitoring and review of progress throughout Primary School and continued support through Secondary School, Tertiary education, and beyond.
We endeavor to keep fees as low as possible. Our hourly rate of $250.00 represents a discount on the Australian Psychological Society’s (APS) recommended fee of $267.00 per hour.
Clients may be able to claim under their Private Health insurance for some of the costs involved.

Assessment Fees – Senior Psychologist
$250 per hour. The time taken for the assessment includes the processing of background information, administration and scoring of tests, consultations, and the writing the assessment report.
