About me
Registered Psychologist (General Registration)
AHPRA Registration Number: PSY0002095881
BPsySc · MProfPsych · MSc Neuropsychology
I'm Rory Fischer, a registered psychologist with a special interest in cognition and the brain. My work focuses on cognitive assessment, rehabilitation, and brain health across the lifespan, by helping people understand how their mind is working, and what they can do with that understanding.
I've worked clinically and conducted research across public, private, and university settings in Australia, Canada, and the Netherlands, which keeps my practice informed by current international research and best practice. My academic training, completed across several universities, has given me both a broad and a distinctive perspective on psychology and cognitive assessment.
My main areas of research have been traumatic brain injury, mild cognitive impairment, dementia, and healthy brain ageing. Clinically, I have extensive experience providing cognitive and psychological assessments for adults and children. This includes people with intellectual disability, ADHD, and specific learning disorders; people who have experienced an acquired brain injury through trauma, stroke, or substance use; and people living with neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, frontotemporal, Lewy body, and vascular dementia.
Whatever brings someone to see me, my aim is the same: to be clear, thorough, and genuinely helpful, and to explain what I find in plain language people can actually use.
