ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) affects an estimated 5-8% of children and 2-5% of adults worldwide. Despite growing awareness, the hardest part is often the system around a diagnosis: who can assess you, what it costs, and how long the waits run.
In Australia, psychiatrists, psychologists, and paediatricians can diagnose ADHD, and some states now let trained GPs diagnose and prescribe. Rules vary by state and are changing fast. Queensland and South Australia have already expanded GP access.
Our guides explain each of these steps plainly, with sources, so you can make informed decisions and have better conversations with qualified health professionals.
