Standard Court Reports

How can we help?

Psychology Melbourne provides expert psychological reports for civil, NDIS, administrative, or criminal proceedings.

These reports can assist a court, or other tribunal, to understand any psychological matters that are considered relevant to the legal proceedings.

If you need a court report, you will need to explain to our reception team the type of report you need so they can choose the right psychologist for you.

What type of Reports do you need?

Please note that the purpose of any court report is to assist the court in making its decision. Although a report may ultimately assist the client, the most important thing is to provide objective information to the court.
