Our diagnostic process is based on the recommendations in the published National ADHD Guidelines 2022. Assessment and diagnosis and is conducted across 3 comprehensive sessions and includes a range history taking, clinical assessment, exploring differential diagnosis (other possible conditions that might better explain symptoms such as trauma, learning difficulties, or another disorder) and formal psychological testing using the most current and validated measures available.

Before your first session reception will email you some intake and registration forms and an initial psychological test for you to complete. These must all be completed 48 hours before your first session, or your appointment may have to be rescheduled. It allows your psychologist to prepare for your first session, and for us to create a client file for you and send you appointment reminders and submit your Medicare rebate (if applicable).
