OUR POLICIES
Payment, rescheduling & cancellations
Payment policy
The comprehensive ADHD assessment process requires pre-payment before we can proceed. Payment for both stages is collected at the time you submit your pre-assessment form. This allows us to allocate clinical time and ensure timely access to your comprehensive assessment.
Rescheduling
We understand that life happens, and we’re always happy to reschedule your appointment. Provided this is done at least 48 hours before your appointment, there is no charge.

If you do not attend your scheduled appointment without prior notice, you will be charged the full appointment fee. To book a new appointment, you will need to contact us and pay for a full assessment again.

Comprehensive assessment for ADHD
$550
This stage includes a comprehensive online assessment followed by a 60-minute diagnostic appointment with our specialist ADHD assessment clinician (in person or via telehealth).
Comprehensive online assessment
You will complete an in-depth online assessment covering your symptoms, history, and functional impact. This information is reviewed in advance and forms the basis of your clinical appointment.
60-minute diagnostic appointment
Your ADHD assessment clinician will conduct a structured diagnostic interview, clarify key areas, and assess for ADHD and other relevant conditions.
What happens after you submit your online assessment?
Once we have received your completed online assessment form and payment, a member of our team will contact you to arrange an appointment for your comprehensive ADHD assessment. Please note that we are currently booking appointments for January 2027.

GP ADHD Appointment
$280
Our team will discuss your individualised treatment plan, so you can choose the best option for your needs. Treatment may include medicines, and/or counselling, therapy, lifestyle change and wellness support.
If you choose to explore medicine, you will meet with our specialty-trained GP who can initiate and manage ADHD medication as part of your care.
ECG (heart check) - if required
$75
Your GP may need you to have an ECG before starting medication. This is charged in addition to your appointment
4
Follow-up medication reviews
$140 each
Most people need 2–3 follow-up appointments after starting medication. These let your doctor make sure your medication is safe, working well and right for you, and adjust your dose if needed.
Enrolled patients pay the standard consultation fee.
Please budget for 2-3 follow-ups ($280 - $420).
Plan ahead
Our ADHD doctors have limited availability. Book your next medication review 3–4 weeks in advance.
Please don’t wait until you’re running out of medication – we may not be able to offer an appointment at short notice.
Repeat prescriptions
$35 (72-hour turnaround) or $40 (same day). A repeat may not always be appropriate without a medication review – your doctor may ask you to book an appointment first.
Once your medication is settled, reviews continue as part of your ongoing care.
AFTER YOUR DIAGNOSIS
Ongoing care
After your assessment, we provide ongoing care to support your wellbeing. This includes regular reviews with your GP to monitor medication, adjust doses, and check overall health, alongside optional ADHD behavioural support appointments to build practical strategies and skills for daily life.
Enrolled patients
Continue your care with us
If you are enrolled with our practice, you are welcome to continue your ongoing ADHD care with our team. We may ask you to book ADHD-related appointments with one of our ADHD doctors, so your care is provided by a doctor with specific experience in ADHD medication management.
