Why we built ADHD.ME
ADHD care, start to finish, with one GP.
Everything from assessment to follow-up, all with one GP. No psychiatrist queue to clear first.
One GP, from the first appointment to the follow-up.
Nobody should have to tell their story twice to get through a door. One clinician holds the assessment, the medication and the follow-up, and what they wrote down in the first appointment is still there in the fourth.
Care that fits the person in front of it.
The rule is changing in NSW and QLD.
For years, an ADHD assessment meant a long, costly wait for a psychiatrist. In New South Wales and Queensland, GPs with the right training can now do it themselves — so the wait is no longer the only way in.
That gap is what ADHD.ME closes. We connect you straight to those GPs, so assessment and follow-up start with one clinician near you — not at the back of a referral queue.
Every clinician here is a GP with dedicated training in ADHD assessment and care, working to Australia's national clinical guideline.
The wait was never the care.
The old route ran through a queue with no visible end and a cost most people could not plan for. Some waited it out. Most of them paid for it twice, in time and then again at the door.
None of that waiting made the care better. It only made it later.
- 6–12 months
- typical wait for an adult ADHD assessment appointment
- $1k to $2k
- common out-of-pocket cost of a private adult assessment
- $270 to $600
- out-of-pocket via a GP-led pathway, in the states that now allow it
- Now in-practice
- NSW and Queensland now let a GP with the right training carry the whole pathway
Indicative figures pending source confirmation, and the NSW and Queensland rule changes are stated pending confirmation against each state's current guidance. Anchors: the AADPA Australian evidence-based clinical practice guideline for ADHD (2022) and the 2023 Senate inquiry into ADHD assessment and support services.
The permission already changed. Now the appointment has to be findable.
A rule that nobody can act on is a rule that did not change anything. ADHD.ME exists to close that last gap: from the change on paper to a GP near you, with a date.
