Dyslexia test: where can I get tested for dyslexia?

Dyslexia testing in Australia can be accessed through several pathways:

• Private psychologists or educational specialists – provide formal assessments with detailed reports.
• Speech pathologists – assess phonological awareness and language processing.
• Schools – may offer screening or recommend referrals for professional testing.
• Universities and learning clinics – some offer assessments for children and adults.

While online dyslexia screening tools exist, they are not diagnostic. A formal test with a qualified professional ensures the results are valid and can be used to access supports such as adjustments at school or NDIS applications.
