Our forensic psychologists conduct comprehensive assessments for court proceedings, including DSM-5-TR diagnoses, fitness to plead evaluations, and offender risk analysis. We provide expert opinions on psychological factors affecting legal matters, with reports tailored to NSW and Commonwealth legislative requirements. Our assessments inform judicial decisions regarding sentencing, rehabilitation programs, and risk management strategies.
Clinical Treatment
Specialised treatment programs address anxiety disorders, PTSD, depression, and workplace stress using evidence-based CBT and REBT methodologies. Our clinicians develop personalised treatment plans for individuals experiencing mental health challenges, including trauma recovery and behavioural modification. We offer Workcover-approved treatment for workplace-related psychological injuries and provide clinical reports for legal proceedings.

Report
Brad told me to reconnect with my ex military partner who threatened to kill me when I left him. Absolute disregard for my safety, and rather typical of an ex policeman. Avoid!
