Effective 3 March 2025

ADHD Assessment Process

The fee for an ADHD assessment is $1,200 less Medicare rebates of $386.75 making a total out of pocket cost of $813.25.

An ADHD assessment would require at least two meetings with a psychiatrist at the clinic.

We will send you some scales and questionnaires to complete prior to your first appointment and it is expected to be returned at least a week before to your appointment.

The first appointment will take about one hour. If you have any school reports available, please bring them. We encourage reading your school reports in advance and prepare to show teachers comments suggestive of ADHD or other difficulties. We understand that some people have no access to their school reports, and it should not affect your assessment.

Collateral information is required for a diagnosis, and we encourage you to bring a family member or someone who knows you well. We understand that in some cases it might be difficult or not possible. Please let us know and we can try to arrange an alternative way to obtain a collateral information (for example a phone call outside of your meeting with a doctor).

Second appointment – Discussing your diagnosis, management plan, and starting treatment if treatment is indicated.

Urine drug test is a mandatory requirement before starting ADHD medication (stimulants) and can be completed at CliniPath following a referral from our psychiatrist.

If treatment with ADHD medication is indicated but cardio-vascular risk factors are identified, our psychiatrist might need to organise a referral for an ECG (electrocardiogram) or referral to a specialist. Some patients may require further medical input (GP, cardiologist or other specialists) before starting treatment with ADHD medication.

Follow up Appointments:

After stimulant treatment commencement, regular follow-up appointments would be required. The frequency of appointments varies depending on your presentation and complexity. most common schedule is a first review three months after treatment initiation, and then 6 monthly.

Medicare & Rebates

Only the psychiatrist appointment is eligible for Medicare rebates, provided there is a valid GP referral and Medicare eligibility.
The psychologist appointment is part of the assessment process and is not considered therapy, so it is not eligible for Medicare rebates.
Most private health funds do not cover specialist fees, but it is recommended to check directly with the fund before proceeding.

For any questions about the process, rebates, or scheduling, please contact our reception by sending an email.
