Cognitive Testing

We offer professional cognitive testing using the clinically validated NeuroTrax system. Our services include a 30-minute screening session for a quick overview of cognitive function, and a 60-minute full battery assessment for a comprehensive evaluation across domains such as memory, attention, executive function, and processing speed. These sessions are ideal for individuals seeking early detection of cognitive decline, monitoring brain health, or establishing a cognitive baseline for performance or clinical purposes. All assessments are interpreted by qualified professionals and include personalised feedback and recommendations.

FAQ

Cognitive Asssessments

Why should I get tested?

Just as you would routinely check your eyes or teeth, undergoing semi-regular cognitive testing provides you and your healthcare practitioner with a baseline to reference if concerns arise. These tests also allow your practitioner to monitor changes over time and assess whether interventions are effective. With dementia projected to become the leading cause of death in Australia—and research showing that men and women are cognitively vulnerable in their 40s and 50s—keeping track of your cognitive health is essential.

Is the cognitive testing done online

Yes. Currently the appointments are all done online.

Can I claim a rebate on my appointment?

You can claim a rebate for a portion of the appointment. Simply ask for a receipt for claiming and we will provide this for you.

Can a diagnosis be made from these tests?

Naomi cannot make any diagnoses but can provide you with an interpretation of the test results. She will send your results to your primary healthcare provider for further discussion.

What should I do to prepare for these tests?

We encourage you to get a good night sleep the night before. On the day of the testing, stick with your normal routine and make sure that you have had something to eat before commencing testing.
