About Disc Test Australia
An independent Australian business running an original DISC behavioural assessment. Here is who we are, how the test was built, and what we deliberately do not claim.
Disc Test Australia is an independent Australian business, owned and run by its founder and based in Melbourne, Victoria. We publish our own DISC behavioural questionnaire and written report. We are not owned by, affiliated with, endorsed by or licensed from any other DISC publisher, distributor or reseller.
Why we built it
A DISC profile in Australia is typically $100 to $220 a person where the price is published at all, and consultant-led engagements are usually quoted rather than listed. Most of that price is a licence fee for a branded instrument and the consultant's time to debrief it. For a leadership team with a budget, that can be money well spent.
For everyone else, it puts a useful conversation out of reach. A small team that just wants to understand how its members prefer to work shouldn't need a four-figure quote to do it. So we wrote our own questionnaire and our own report, and priced it at what it costs us to run: free to take, $49 including GST for the full written report.
How the assessment was built
DISC is a model, not a product. It was first described by the psychologist William Moulton Marston in 1928, and that work is in the public domain. Anyone may build on it, and many publishers have.
Our questionnaire is original. It is a forced-choice instrument: for each set you pick what is most and least like you, which makes it harder to game than a simple agree-or-disagree scale. It produces four scores, Drive, Influence, Steadiness and Precision, and a style based on how those scores sit against each other. The written report is our own text, not licensed boilerplate.
What we do not claim
Plenty of providers lead with credentials. We would rather be clear about what we are not.
- We are not accredited. No government accreditation scheme for DISC exists in Australia. We hold no publisher certification and do not pretend otherwise. What accreditation actually means.
- The assessment has not been independently validated. There is no published reliability or validity study behind it. If that matters for your purpose, you want a different instrument.
- It is not a psychological or clinical test. It is not diagnostic, and it measures nothing about ability, intelligence, integrity or job performance.
- It must not be used for employment decisions. Not hiring, not promotion, not redundancy, not pay. Our terms prohibit it.
What it is good for is a straight read on how you tend to behave at work, and a shared language for a team to talk about how it works together.
How we handle your results
You can take the test and see your style and four scores without paying and without creating an account. If you buy a report it is delivered by email and is yours. If someone buys a pair or team report and chooses shared reports, everyone taking part is told on screen before they start that the organiser will be able to read their report. Our privacy policy sets out the detail.
Where we are
We are based in Melbourne and operate throughout Australia. All prices are in Australian dollars and include GST. Payment is handled by Stripe; we never see your card details.

Common questions
Who is behind Disc Test Australia?
An independent Australian business based in Melbourne, Victoria, owned and run by its founder. The questionnaire and the report text are written in-house. We are not owned by, affiliated with or licensed from any other DISC publisher, distributor or reseller, and we do not resell anyone else’s instrument.
Is Disc Test accredited?
No. There is no government accreditation scheme for DISC in Australia, and we hold no publisher certification. We say so plainly rather than implying a credential we do not have.
Has the assessment been independently validated?
No. Our questionnaire is original work based on the public-domain DISC model, and it has not been through an independent validation study. It is built for self-awareness and team conversations, not for selection or diagnosis.
Why is Disc Test cheaper than most Australian DISC providers?
Most Australian DISC profiles cost $100 to $220 a person where a price is published, and more through a consultant, because the price includes a licensed instrument and often a practitioner debrief. We wrote our own questionnaire and report, so a full report is $49 including GST.
Can I use Disc Test results for hiring?
No. Our terms prohibit it. No behavioural questionnaire is a sound basis for recruitment, promotion, pay or any other employment decision, and using one that way carries real risk under Australian workplace and anti-discrimination law.
