Choose a registered psychologist based on the assessment purpose
For private access, contact a psychologist on the New Zealand Psychologists Board register who holds a current Annual Practising Certificate and offers adult cognitive assessment for your intended purpose. The private package should include feedback and a signed report suited to that use.
Health New Zealand provides funded assessment through relevant health pathways according to clinical need and capacity. PsychDirect can be a useful starting point for finding private practices; use the NZPB register for professional status and the practice page for current WAIS availability.

WAIS-5 A&NZ is the current shared edition
WAIS-5 Australian and New Zealand is the current shared standardised edition. Book WAIS-5 A&NZ unless the psychologist explains a specific clinical, comparison, or migration reason to use WAIS-IV.
After intake, you take the test under supervision. The psychologist then interprets the scores, gives feedback, and issues the signed report.
