Assessments
Psychological Assessments
At Tjallara Consulting, we specialise in providing culturally informed psychological assessments that respect and reflect the unique needs of Aboriginal people and communities.
Victoria’s approach goes beyond mainstream methods, ensuring that assessments are accurate and culturally relevant.
Trauma Assessments
Many Aboriginal individuals face complex trauma that stems from intergenerational experiences of colonisation, ongoing systemic discrimination and racism, family violence, and undermined connections to culture. Our trauma assessments provide a deep understanding of these issues and offer a path toward healing.
- Assessments for individuals and families impacted by trauma
- Culturally sensitive tools to identify the effects of trauma, including suicide risk
- Tailored recommendations for support and healing
Parenting Capacity Assessments
Parenting capacity assessments are often required in the Children’s Court of WA and family court matters, especially when families are at risk of child removal, or there are residence and contact issues. Our assessments offer a comprehensive view of a parent’s ability to care for their child, taking into account cultural factors that are often overlooked in standard assessments.
- Culturally informed evaluations of parenting skills and family dynamics
- Focus on understanding the parent-child relationship
- In-depth analysis of cultural factors, influencing family dynamics
- Comprehensive reports for use in court and legal matters
Criminal Injuries Compensation Reports
We provide expert assessments for Aboriginal individuals seeking criminal injuries compensation. These assessments are carefully crafted to ensure a culturally respectful evaluation of the psychological impacts of violence or injury.
- Focus on understanding the long-term impacts of trauma and violence
- In-depth analysis of cultural factors influencing family dynamics
- Culturally appropriate recommendations about trauma and violence impacts and client capacities for recovery
