Psychological Medicolegal Assessments
Independent psychological assessments for psychological injury claims, workplace matters and legal proceedings across Australia.
A psychological medicolegal assessment provides an independent expert opinion on a person's mental health, its connection to a workplace incident, accident or other event, and its effect on their capacity for work and daily life. These assessments are commonly requested in workers' compensation, CTP, life and disability insurance, and personal injury matters involving psychological injury.
Evaluate Medicolegal arranges psychological assessments with registered psychologists experienced in medicolegal assessment and reporting. Each assessment is conducted with sensitivity and respect, and the report addresses the specific questions raised by the referrer in clear, objective terms.
