NovoPsych.com.au is Australian's leading test-delivery platform for psychologists. Our mission is to use psychometric science to help mental health services improve outcomes. We do this by providing tools for client conceptualisation, diagnosis and symptom tracking.  Our software graphs symptoms over time so you can get a clear historical picture of a client’s progress. NovoPsych automatically calculate percentile ranks to give you a clear indication of your client’s symptoms and how they compare to normative samples.

We deliver tests with high standards of validity and reliability.
