OUTREACH PSYCHOLOGY ASSESSMENTS
Comprehensive Psychology Assessments Across Regional Australia
Comprehensive ADHD, autism, cognitive and learning assessments for all ages.
Face-to-face assessments in Regional Australia, with Telehealth support before and after assessment.
We are committed to improving access to high-quality, evidence-based psychological assessments for individuals living in regional and rural Australia. Many communities face long wait times, limited local services, and the need to travel significant distances to access specialist care, which can delay diagnosis and appropriate support. Our service aims to reduce these barriers by providing timely, comprehensive assessments that offer diagnostic clarity and practical recommendations, helping referrers and families make informed decisions about care and intervention pathways.
Dr Jennifer Menon is a Clinical Psychologist and Director of Mind in Mind Psychology, an award-winning psychology practice in Victoria.
She is passionate about supporting children, adults, and families to better understand how they think, learn, and experience the world.
Dr Menon has extensive experience in ADHD, autism, cognitive and learning assessments, gained through over 20 years of work across disability services, community settings, hospital environments, and private practice. She is committed to bringing these high-quality assessment services to regional communities, helping to reduce the barriers many families face in accessing timely, specialist support. Her approach is thorough, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practice.
Regional Outreach
Our outreach clinics bring comprehensive cognitive and autism assessments closer to regional communities, helping reduce the need for extensive travel wherever possible.
FEATURED STORY
Whyalla Outreach Clinic
Every child deserves the opportunity to access quality psychological assessment, regardless of where they live.
At Mind in Mind Psychology, we're committed to making assessment services more accessible for families in regional communities. As part of our outreach program, Dr Jennifer Menon recently travelled to Whyalla to provide cognitive and autism assessments closer to home.
We're grateful to work alongside local schools, GPs and allied health professionals, and we look forward to continuing to build partnerships that help improve access to assessment services for regional children and families.
