Think it might be ADHD? See someone about it — from home.

Both, working as a team. A registered psychologist usually leads the in-depth ADHD assessment — the detailed history, the questionnaires, the careful look at how things actually affect your life. A psychiatrist (a medical doctor) confirms the diagnosis and looks after treatment, including medication where it’s clinically appropriate. And your GP is part of the picture too, helping with referrals and ongoing shared care. So it’s not one person making a snap call — it’s an Australian multidisciplinary team, all by telehealth.

A registered psychologist can carry out a thorough, structured ADHD assessment against recognised criteria and set out clear findings — that’s a big part of what they do at Seen ADHD. In our model, the psychologist leads that in-depth assessment and a psychiatrist (a medical doctor) confirms the diagnosis and looks after treatment, so the two work hand in hand. A diagnosis is never guaranteed in advance: not everyone who is assessed has ADHD, and an honest “no” is a valid, useful outcome.

Yes. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor with specialist training in mental health, and diagnosing ADHD is squarely part of their work. In our team, the psychologist usually leads the detailed assessment and the psychiatrist confirms the diagnosis and looks after treatment, including medication where it’s clinically appropriate. It all happens by telehealth, following recognised diagnostic criteria. A diagnosis is never promised up front — the outcome depends on what the assessment finds.

Yes. Your assessment, your diagnosis, your treatment plan and your ongoing reviews all happen by secure video — no waiting rooms, no driving across town, no taking a whole day off. You see your psychologist and psychiatrist from wherever you’re comfortable: home, the office on a break, wherever feels right. Telehealth is a well-established way to deliver psychology and psychiatric care in Australia, and it means you can be seen no matter where you live. If anything about your situation ever needs a different approach, your clinician will tell you honestly.

For ADHD assessment, diagnosis and ongoing care, telehealth works well — and a lot of people find it easier to talk openly from their own space. The conversation, the history-taking, the questionnaires and the follow-up reviews all translate well to video. You’re seeing the same kind of qualified Australian psychologists and psychiatrists you would in a clinic, just without the commute or the waiting room. If your clinician ever feels something would be better handled another way, they’ll say so. The goal is proper, careful, team-based care — delivered conveniently.

To see a psychiatrist with a Medicare rebate, you usually need a referral from your GP — so it’s often worth having one. If you don’t have a referral yet, don’t worry: get in touch and we’ll guide you through how to get one and what to ask your GP for. A referral also helps because your GP knows your broader health picture and becomes part of your shared care afterwards. We’ll always tell you honestly when a referral is worth having.

Yes — Seen ADHD is about assessment, diagnosis, treatment and ongoing care, not a one-off opinion. If you’re diagnosed with ADHD, your psychiatrist works with you on a treatment plan suited to your situation. That can include practical strategies and support, and treatment which your psychiatrist may discuss with you where clinically appropriate. Any decision about treatment is a clinical one, made by your doctor after a proper assessment — never promised in advance, and never the reason to book.

ADHD care in Australia works best as a small team. Your psychologist leads the assessment, your psychiatrist confirms the diagnosis and treatment plan, and in many cases your GP helps with ongoing care close to home — that’s shared care. How it’s set up depends on your circumstances and the relevant rules, and your psychiatrist and GP sort out who does what. With your consent, we keep your GP in the loop so everyone’s working from the same picture. We don’t hand out ongoing scripts on demand — care is coordinated properly between your psychiatrist and your GP.

That’s a real and valid outcome. Not everyone who is assessed has ADHD, and a careful assessment is honest about that. If ADHD isn’t the right explanation, your psychologist and psychiatrist will tell you what the assessment found and what it points to instead — because sometimes the things you’re experiencing fit something else worth exploring. You’ll leave with clarity and a sensible next step, including onward referral or support where that’s appropriate, rather than a label for its own sake.

It can be, depending on your circumstances. To get a Medicare rebate for seeing a psychiatrist, you generally need a current GP referral, and rebates apply to some services and not others. Because the rules are situational, we can’t promise a particular rebate amount. Rebates may be available depending on your circumstances — the best way to know what applies to you is to confirm with your GP, and we’ll guide you on the referral side.

Pricing depends on the pathway you need — you can see the current options and what each includes on our pricing page. We aim to be clear and upfront about cost before you commit, with no surprise fees. Where you have an eligible GP referral, a Medicare rebate may reduce your out-of-pocket cost; rebates depend on your circumstances, so confirm what applies to you with your GP.
