There's no "too early." If you have concerns about your child's talking or understanding at any age, an assessment can clarify whether support would help.

Sessions are typically 30-60 minutes. The number depends on your child's goals; the pathologist will recommend a plan after the initial assessment.

What Millstream helps with

Autism Spectrum Disorder Assessment

A multi-disciplinary evaluation that determines whether a child or adult meets the criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It usually involves observation, standardised assessments and parent or teacher interviews, resulting in a diagnostic report that opens access to therapy and NDIS supports.

ADHD Assessment

A structured evaluation by a psychologist or psychiatrist to determine whether ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is present. It typically includes questionnaires, clinical interviews, rating scales and sometimes cognitive testing, and results in recommendations for support and treatment.

Educational & Learning Assessments

Assessment for dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, specific learning disorders, and global developmental delay.

Psychology & Counselling

Assessment and therapy provided by a registered psychologist to support mental health, emotional wellbeing and behaviour. Psychologists work across the lifespan — helping children, adolescents and adults understand and manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma and learning differences.

Online Counselling

A talking-based support that helps people work through emotional difficulties, relationship challenges, grief, stress or mental health concerns. A counsellor listens without judgement and helps you develop coping strategies and a clearer sense of direction.

Speech Pathology

Assessment and treatment of communication difficulties including speech sounds, language development, stuttering, voice, and feeding and swallowing. Speech pathologists work with children and adults to help them communicate clearly and confidently.

Occupational Therapy

A therapy that helps children and adults develop the everyday skills needed for daily life — from dressing, writing and play to sensory processing and school participation. Occupational therapists assess what is getting in the way and design practical strategies to build independence and confidence.

Paediatric Medical Assessment

Paediatrician services integrated with psychological and allied health assessments.

Our approach

Millstream provides comprehensive, individualised services across multiple disciplines including psychology, paediatric medicine, speech pathology and occupational therapy. Sessions follow gold standard assessment processes that adhere to national guidelines and include consultations within the child's everyday settings such as daycare or school. The team works collaboratively to link clinicians with specialists and schools, ensuring that support strategies align across different environments. For therapy, clinicians offer evidence-based approaches to help children with emotional regulation, behaviour management and mental health concerns. The focus is on developing self-management and coping skills while supporting both the child and their family through the therapeutic process.

Working with families

Family involvement is central to care at Millstream, with clinicians working collaboratively with parents and carers throughout the assessment and therapy process. The team gathers information from families about how their child functions at home and in the community. Clinicians link with schools and other specialists to align multi-contextual strategies, ensuring consistent support across home, school and other settings. Parents are supported as partners in their child's care, with a focus on developing practical strategies they can use to manage behaviour and emotions and support their child's wellbeing. The service provides an emotionally safe and confidential space for families to explore their experiences and goals.

Meet the team

Millstream has an experienced multidisciplinary team that includes a paediatrician, clinical psychologists, speech pathologists and occupational therapists. Team members hold relevant professional qualifications and accreditation through the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency. The paediatrician provides medical assessment and can serve as a Lead Practitioner for diagnostic evaluations when needed. Psychologists are trained in neurodevelopmental assessment and evidence-based therapy approaches. Speech pathologists contribute specialist assessment for communication and language concerns, while occupational therapists support functional skills and everyday activities.

Your first visit

At the initial appointment, families can expect a comprehensive assessment process that follows gold standard national guidelines. The assessment may include visits to the child's daycare or school to gather information about how the child functions in everyday settings. The team gathers information to understand the child's strengths, challenges and support needs across multiple contexts. The specific nature of the assessment depends on the reason for referral—whether for neurodevelopmental evaluation (autism, ADHD, learning difficulties), emotional wellbeing or other concerns. After assessment, the clinicians work to align recommendations with schools and other specialists involved in the child's care.
