​

What the Brief ADHD Screening Includes​

Who This Service is For

​

If you are considering medication

If medication is something you may wish to explore, this screening can be a useful first step. Prescribing clinicians such as psychiatrists typically complete their own ADHD assessment before making decisions about medication.

​

This consultation may help clarify whether seeking further medical assessment could be appropriate.

​

Recent changes in ADHD prescribing in Australia

​In some parts of Australia, GPs may undertake additional training that allows them to participate in the assessment and prescribing of ADHD medication under specific regulatory arrangements. Availability of these services varies between states and individual medical practices.

​

If medication is something you are considering, your GP may be able to advise you about local referral options or prescribing pathways.

If you are not seeking medication

Some people wish to explore ADHD traits before deciding whether to pursue a more comprehensive assessment.

​
If you are not currently interested in medication, a full ADHD assessment with a psychologist may also be an option.
