RNS - CADE Clinic (Clinical Assessment and Diagnostic Evaluation)

The CADE (Clinical Assessment and Diagnostic Evaluation) Clinic is a specialist service and research centre for mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder.

We provide clinical assessments regarding the diagnosis and management of mood disorders. These assessments may be conducted in-person at the CADE Clinic or via the Mood-T (telehealth) service. Telehealth appointments will be offered on a case-by-case basis.

We provide assessments for adolescents and adults (aged 16 - 65 years) with suspected or diagnosed mood disorders which include:
•    Depression
•    Bipolar Disorder

Please note: The clinic does not provide assessments for other primary diagnoses such as substance misuse, eating disorders and is not suited to patients with current comorbid conditions nor for legal purposes, insurance determinations, Centrelink claims or academic exemptions and does not offer continuing management.

A referral from a GP or Psychiatrist is required to be seen at the CADE Clinic. A referral form is available from our website, or can be downloaded here .

The CADE Clinic and Mood-T are bulk-billing services and assessments come at no cost to patients. Therefore, it is essential that a patient is enrolled in Medicare and a Medicare number is provided at the time of referral.
