Read with intentionUnderstand changes in your memory.
Memory is not one skill but several, and each can be affected differently. A memory assessment uses standardised testing to map how you store, hold and recall information — and what the pattern means.
Reasons people seek a memory assessment.
A memory assessment answers a specific question about memory and attention — to reassure, to guide care, or to support a diagnosis or an application.
- You have noticed forgetfulness, or trouble recalling recent events or conversations.
- You or a family member have questions about memory changes with ageing.
- You are recovering from a stroke, brain injury or concussion and want to understand the impact.
- Memory or concentration difficulties are affecting study, work or daily life.
- A GP or specialist has recommended memory testing to inform a diagnosis.
- You need clear evidence to support care planning, NDIS or other applications.
Every assessment answers a clear question. We agree on what you want to know before we begin, and make sure the report answers it.
A detailed look at how memory works.
Standardised, validated testing across memory and related abilities, interpreted by a qualified psychologist and translated into clear findings.
Verbal & visual memory
How you learn and recall words, stories and visual information over time, using tools such as the Wechsler Memory Scale.
Working memory & attention
Holding and using information in the moment, and the attention that supports it.
Pattern & interpretation
We look at the pattern of results to understand the likely cause, not just the individual scores.
