The NZD 1,450 full assessment and NZD 950 brief assessment are different services
Navigate Psychology charges NZD 1,450 for a full cognitive assessment. WAIS-IV is used for adults, and the package includes a report and feedback. Its separate NZD 950 option is a brief screening with a summary report.
The NZD 1,450 listing does not specify whether GST is included. If New Zealand's 15% GST were added, the total would be NZD 1,667.50. An estimated budget of NZD 1,500–1,800 therefore allows for that possibility.

A cognitive assessment is also available for NZD 1,035 including GST
Te Wheke charges NZD 900 plus GST for a cognitive and IQ assessment, making the GST-inclusive total NZD 1,035. The service includes an interview, testing, analysis, a report, and a one-hour feedback session. The intelligence test is selected for the assessment rather than fixed in advance.
The lower fee does not come from omitting feedback or the report. With GST included, the NZD 900 fee comes to NZD 1,035, making it directly comparable with other packages.
