We also support family law cases where mental health may impact parenting capacity, communication, or risk considerations. In criminal matters, our reports assist in evaluating the relevance of psychiatric conditions to the alleged offence, informing sentencing outcomes, or supporting diversion where appropriate. Assessments of fitness to stand trial, treatment needs, and relevant risk factors are also available where required.
