You might recognise this
On paper the career looks fine. Day to day it feels like white knuckling.
You have built a system. It worked for three weeks, the way the last four did.
Someone in the family got diagnosed and a lot of things suddenly made sense.
You have been told you cannot have it, because you finished the degree, or you hold down the job, or you seem fine in a fifteen minute appointment.
You have been meaning to look into it for about four years.
What we can do
01
We can take you on. Ongoing reviews, treatment monitoring, coordination with your GP and anyone else involved, and one practitioner who keeps track of it all.
02
A comprehensive clinical assessment comes first. Our nurse practitioner can assess adults for possible ADHD, and where a diagnosis is clinically appropriate and within his scope of practice, make one. Where specialist assessment or treatment is indicated, we refer you to a psychiatrist or another qualified ADHD clinician, and we pick things up with you afterwards.
We support adults seeking assessment and ongoing management of ADHD.
Either way, this is what the assessment covers. A full history rather than a snapshot. Childhood and school. Education and work. How things go at home and how they go under pressure. Sleep, mood and mental health. Alcohol and other substances, asked without judgement. Any previous assessments or reports, and everything you currently take.
Medication management is part of what we offer where it is appropriate, and whether it is appropriate for you depends on your assessment and on the rules where you live. [Pending: prescribing rules by state]
The rules, in plain English
ADHD medication in Australia is tightly controlled, and the rules about who can prescribe it are set by each state and territory rather than nationally. They are not the same in Queensland as they are in Tasmania, and they have been changing.
Where you live affects what any clinic can do for you, including us. Some people need a specialist involved. Some do not. Prescribing is monitored in most states, which is a good thing and worth knowing about.
We will tell you what applies to you, in your state, in your first consultation. If we cannot do something for you, we will say so and tell you who can.
Already diagnosed, or not yet?
The rules on prescribing are different in every state, and we would rather you knew exactly where you stood before you paid for anything.
So book a free 10 minute call with our team. We will tell you what applies where you live, how the pathway works for your situation, whether an assessment is needed and what that costs. If we are not the right clinic for you, we will say so and point you somewhere better. No cost, no obligation, and it is not a consultation.
What we don’t do
We do not promise a diagnosis, and we do not promise medication. Nobody honest can, before an assessment.
We are not a fast track and we do not compete on waiting times.
We are not an emergency service, and we do not replace your GP.
We see adults. Children and adolescents with suspected ADHD need a comprehensive assessment by a paediatrician or a child and adolescent psychiatrist, and we will point you to the right one.
Where the rules or your circumstances mean you need a specialist, we will say so and help you get there rather than working around it.
Working together
If you have a psychologist, a GP, a specialist or workplace supports in place, we work alongside them rather than starting again. If you have a report from a previous assessment, bring it. It saves you money and it saves you repeating yourself.
Already with another clinic
If you are with another clinic and the care has not matched what you were promised, you can move.
The quiz
