At Tumbleweed Psychology, we specialise in Autism (ASD) and ADHD assessments delivered entirely via Telehealth, so you can access a thorough, professional assessment from the comfort of your own home, wherever you are in Queensland.
Whether you're in a remote community or simply prefer the convenience of online appointments, our virtual assessments are flexible, secure, and carried out by experienced clinicians who understand the importance of getting the right answers.
We also offer in-clinic therapy sessions at our Townsville practice for those who prefer face-to-face support.
We work with children, teens and adults across all of QLD.
Our services include:
Call 07 4463 8679 or fill out the enquiry form below to get started. No matter where you are in QLD, we’re ready to support you via secure video sessions.
Your assessment takes place via secure video call from wherever is most comfortable for you. Depending on the type of assessment, this includes a clinical interview exploring your history and current challenges, along with any formal testing using validated diagnostic tools. All you need is a quiet space, a stable internet connection, and a device with a camera and microphone.
Following your assessment, your psychologist will prepare a comprehensive written report integrating all findings against diagnostic criteria. This is typically completed within 2–5 weeks. You'll then have the opportunity to discuss the results, ask questions, and explore next steps - whether that's sharing your report with your GP, school, or NDIS planner, or beginning ongoing therapeutic support.
Telehealth makes mental health support more accessible than ever. You don’t need to travel long distances, sit in traffic, or wait months for a local appointment - just find a quiet space, and connect with your psychologist via secure video. It’s private, flexible, and ideal for busy schedules, remote living, or those who simply feel more comfortable speaking from home. With Telehealth, you can get the same level of care as in-person sessions - just in a way that fits your lifestyle.

To obtain a referral, please visit your GP and discuss your current concerns to see if you are eligible for referral under a Mental Health Care Plan, allowing for up to 10 subsided sessions.
