Pre-Sentence Reports, Bails, Trials, & Appeals

Facing the court system is often a gruelling and isolating experience. Our role is to provide the objective, clinical evidence required to ensure a fair and informed outcome. We produce sophisticated, independent psychological reports that go beyond the offence to explain the person—analysing cognitive functioning, psychosocial background, and mental state. These insights provide the judge with critical context regarding mitigating factors, risk, and rehabilitation prospects.

We provide comprehensive, independent psychological assessments and reports to support individuals involved in criminal proceedings, including pre-sentence reports, bail applications and appeals. Navigating and enduring court is often a gruelling and stressful experience and can happen to anyone at any time. We’re here to support you with psychological counselling to help get you through it.

Our reports are prepared by qualified practitioners with experience in forensic contexts. They are tailored to address the court’s needs, offering clear, evidence-based insights into cognitive functioning, psychosocial background, mental health, risk, intent, character and rehabilitation potential. This provides the judge with a better understanding of mitigating and moderating contextual and background factors. There are often significant differences in sentencing outcomes when the judge has a deeper understanding of your case (within the parameters of the Criminal Code legislation).

Trial reports may address key issues such as:

• Fitness to stand trial • Mental state at the time of the alleged offence • Impact of psychological conditions on behaviour • Diagnostic clarification • Risk assessment and management considerations

We work collaboratively with legal representatives to ensure timely, professional reporting that meets court standards and supports fair, informed outcomes.

Our reports are sophisticated instruments which are highly thorough (10-15 page / 2500-3500 words).

Whether you are seeking a report for sentencing, a bail application or an appeal, we are here to assist with respectful, non-judgmental and clinically sound support.
