Offspring is a private fee for service clinic and all accounts are payable on the day of consultation. Our Paediatricians’ fees are determined individually and vary depending on the service they provide to you on the day.  Payments may be made via credit card/EFTPOS. Please note that surcharge fees apply for these transactions. Online payments transactions will incur a surcharge fee of 1.8% plus $0.30 fee per transaction whilst EFTPOS payments incur a surcharge fee of 0.95% for credit card transactions & 0.85% for EFTPOS transactions. Consultation fees are subject to review every 6-12 months.

Cancellations

We would appreciate a minimum of 48 hours’ notice if you intend to change or cancel your appointment as this provide other patients the opportunity to see their specialist sooner.  Missed appointments or appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice may be subject to a cancellation fee at a minimum of $50 but can vary between clinicians. Please note, cancellation fees are applied at the discretion of each clinician.

Repeat Prescriptions (Over-the-phone requests)

Repeat prescriptions for most medications are best obtained through a visit & review with your general practitioner. Depending on the type of medication, you may need a review appointment with your Paediatrician before a repeat script may be provided.  If your paediatrician has advised you that they can provide a repeat prescription without an appointment, please contact us well before your next prescription is due as some of our paediatricians are only at the clinic weekly or fortnightly. A minimum fee of $25 will be applicable for script preparations outside of consultations. This fee varies between clinicians and will be applied at their discretion.. If your script is required more urgently than this we may recommend a visit and review with your GP.

    Social and emotional functioning refers to a child’s ability to understand, express, and manage their emotions, as well as to interact effectively with others. These skills are fundamental for building positive relationships, developing empathy, and coping with the everyday challenges of growing up.

    Children who experience difficulties in social and emotional functioning may struggle with recognizing their own feelings or those of others, regulating emotional responses, or responding appropriately in social situations. This can lead to challenges such as anxiety, low self-esteem, difficulty making friends, or misunderstandings with peers and adults.

    In the school environment, social and emotional difficulties can impact a child’s engagement, cooperation, and overall learning experience. Emotional distress may manifest as withdrawal, irritability, or disruptive behaviour, which can further affect academic progress and peer relationships.

    Assessment of social and emotional functioning as part of a neuropsychological evaluation typically includes behavioural observations, standardized rating scales, and information gathered from parents, teachers, and sometimes the child. This comprehensive approach helps identify strengths and areas for support in emotional regulation, social skills, and adaptive behaviours.

    Understanding a child’s social-emotional profile allows for the development of tailored strategies to enhance emotional wellbeing, build resilience, and improve social communication. Early intervention and supportive environments can empower children to navigate their emotions more effectively, fostering confidence and meaningful connections. 

    At Offspring Health, we aim to provide transparent information about the costs involved in neurodevelopmental and educational assessments.

    Neuropsychological assessments typically involve multiple sessions that usually take between 8 and 16 hours in total, depending on the complexity and individual needs. Our hourly rate is $260, so the total cost typically ranges between $2,300 and $4,230.

    Fees generally cover:

    • Initial consultation and history gathering
    • Testing sessions where your child will complete various fun and interactive tasks
    • Liaison with schools or health professionals as needed
    • Comprehensive case analysis and report preparation
    • Feedback sessions with families and, where applicable, educators or other professionals

    Please note that standard neuropsychological assessments are generally not covered by Medicare. However, some assessments and therapy services may be funded through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) for eligible participants. We recommend discussing funding options with your NDIS planner or support coordinator prior to booking. Private health insurance may offer partial rebates depending on your level of coverage.
