About Us
Who We Are
Monarch Autism Assessment is a paediatric specialist assessment clinic based in Williams Landing, providing diagnostic clarity for autism, ADHD, and related neurodevelopmental and learning differences in children and adolescents.
Our multidisciplinary team - comprising paediatricians, psychologists, and speech pathologists - works collaboratively to deliver thorough, integrated assessments in a child-friendly, welcoming environment, conveniently located for families across Melbourne’s western and south-western suburbs.
Our Mission
To provide timely, accurate, and compassionate assessments that give children and their families the clarity and information they need to access the right supports - at school, at home, and in the community.
Our Approach
We understand that pursuing an assessment for your child can bring up a mix of emotions. Our team takes a calm, respectful, and individualised approach, taking the time to understand each child’s story, build rapport, and create a comfortable environment throughout the assessment process.
What sets Monarch apart is our genuinely integrated multidisciplinary model. Rather than seeing clinicians separately across different services, your child is assessed by a coordinated team - including a paediatrician, psychologist, and speech pathologist - who share information and collaborate on the diagnostic formulation. This means a more complete picture, a more accurate outcome, and a single, unified report for your family.
Our assessments are grounded in current evidence-based practice and make use of internationally recognised diagnostic tools and structured clinical interviews.
Who We See
- Children showing early signs of developmental differences
- School-aged children experiencing challenges at school, at home, or socially
- Adolescents navigating school, social, or emotional challenges
- Families seeking diagnostic information to support NDIS access or planning
- Children and young people referred by GPs, paediatricians, or schools
Our model of care
One day. One team. One integrated answer.
Monarch operates a one-day, fully integrated assessment model. Rather than booking your child in for separate appointments with each clinician over several weeks, your child’s paediatric, psychological, and speech pathology assessments are scheduled together and completed in a single day at our Williams Landing clinic.
This model reduces the burden on families of multiple visits and time away from school or work, and allows our team to come together immediately afterwards - while impressions are fresh - to form a single, integrated diagnostic picture. While the team formulates the diagnosis, your family is invited to take a short break - for example, to grab lunch or run an errand nearby. You then return to the clinic later the same day for your feedback session, where the diagnostic outcome, treatment options, and management recommendations are discussed with you before you leave.
