Australia ADHD Reform Pathways

Select your state or territory to find out what GPs can legally do now, what has changed, and what this means for you.

WA NT QLD SA NSW VIC TAS ACT
To note
  • These reforms determine who is legally authorised to diagnose ADHD and prescribe stimulant medication. They do not guarantee that a GP will offer those services. Participation is voluntary, training requirements vary between states, and individual practices charge private fees that are not regulated.
  • There is currently no dedicated Medicare item number for comprehensive ADHD assessments anywhere in Australia. Ask about costs before you book.
  • Medicare rebates do not apply to 100% telehealth GP appointments unless you have seen that same clinic in person within the last 12 months, or you live in a very remote area.
  • Interstate telehealth prescriptions are only valid if the prescribing GP holds authority specific to your state.
