MENTAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT Services

Lee Knight, our director and senior clinical nurse consultant in forensic mental health, will conduct all  assessments for court. Lee has over 20 years experience working at an advanced level in forensic mental health assessment and treatment.

All medico-legal consultations receive a written, comprehensive psychiatric medico-legal report; complete with clinical impression, recommendations for court diversion (if appropriate) and a workable, meaningful, and feasible treatment plan.

Lee has a proven track record of providing clients with professional medico-legal reports in Local, District and Supreme Courts as well as the NSW Civil Administration Tribunal (NCAT), Immigration tribunals and State Parole Authority (SPA). Lee will review clients expeditiously and ensure that all documentation is provided to the client or legal representative well before the scheduled court appearance. 

Appointments are available outside of office hours at convenient locations in both Terrigal and, on application, Sydney. Lee can provide audio-visual assessments to clients in custodial settings across NSW and more widely, Australia.

If required, Lee is able to assist clients in finding legal representatives who specialise in mental health matters, or he can work with their preferred legal representative at all stages of the court process.

All assessments for civil matters are conducted by Lee Knight. Lee offers comprehensive psychiatric assessment and medico-legal reports for a range of civil matters. Please contact us for more information.
