Cognitive Assessment Services: Start Your Journey to Clarity and Confidence
Feeling frustrated by lapses in memory or cognitive challenges that impact your daily life? We understand the importance of mental sharpness and clarity in maintaining a high quality of life.
You can now access a comprehensive cognitive assessment service, delivered by the team at Occupational Therapy Brisbane, providing you with a clear understanding of your cognitive performance and memory health.
No doubt thereโs uncertainty that comes up with changes in your memory or thinking skills. You might be seeking reassurance about your cognitive health, or perhaps you’re looking for actionable steps towards maintaining or enhancing it.
Whatever your situation, you’re likely exploring options and seeking solutions that are both accessible, effective and affordable.
A New Option For Cognitive Assessment In Brisbane
If youโve been looking for a cognitive assessment, traditionally, there have been two main options:
A basic pen-and-paper assessment with a GP, which, while quick and accessible, doesnโt fully capture the complexity of your cognitive health. These screening test are commonly used for dementia assessments for example.
A comprehensive, half-day assessment with a neuropsychologist, offering depth but often at a prohibitive cost and with a daunting commitment of time.
Assessments are good but there needs to be a better balance of detail assessment matched with practical actions to help.
We believe this is missing for most people when doing the traditional assessments and itโs what weโve committed to do to help. This approach has been part of our โMemory Health Clinicโ and we wished more people had access to this approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cognitive assessment and who should consider one?
A cognitive assessment is an evaluation of how thinking skills such as memory, attention, language, and problem-solving are working in daily life. Itโs recommended for people experiencing changes after a neurological condition, injury, or illness, as well as those noticing difficulties at home, work, or school. Families and carers also find it helpful for planning support.
How is a cognitive assessment different from a medical diagnosis?
Medical tests often identify the cause of changes. A cognitive assessment focuses on function โ how those changes affect day-to-day life. It helps distinguish between what may be age-related, stress-related, or linked to a health condition. The results can be shared with your GP, neurologist, or support team to guide care and rehabilitation.
What happens during a cognitive assessment?
Assessments take place in our Brisbane clinic. They involve structured conversations, standardised cognitive tests, and practical tasks. We look at areas like attention, processing speed, memory, and planning. The findings are explained in plain English, with recommendations for strategies, therapy, or further referral where needed. The goal is clarity and a practical plan forward.
What are the benefits of having a cognitive assessment?
Many people find reassurance in having clear answers rather than uncertainty. A cognitive assessment can:
Clarify strengths and areas of difficulty.
Inform rehabilitation or therapy programs.
Provide evidence for funding bodies such as NDIS or insurers.
Guide carers and families on how best to support daily life.
Itโs about building confidence and enabling safer, more independent participation.
How much does a cognitive assessment cost?
Costs depend on the type of assessment and funding pathway. Some clients access assessments through NDIS, insurance, or workplace health schemes, while others pay privately. Weโll outline fees and any rebate options before booking so you know exactly what to expect.
Do I need a GP referral for a cognitive assessment?
You donโt always need a referral, although many clients are referred by their GP, specialist, or support coordinator. Having your doctor involved helps keep your care coordinated, but youโre also welcome to contact us directly for an appointment.
How can I book a cognitive assessment in Brisbane?
You can book directly with Occupational Therapy Brisbane by phone or online. Our team will discuss your concerns, explain the process, and arrange an appointment time. If youโre a GP or support coordinator, referrals are welcomed. Taking this step can provide clarity and peace of mind for both clients and families.
