ADHD assessment in Australian Capital Territory
For adults in Canberra and across the ACT, Seen ADHD provides a structured online ADHD assessment led by a registered psychologist, with psychiatrist confirmation where appropriate. It all happens by secure video - useful whether you're in Civic, Gungahlin, Woden, Tuggeranong or just over the border in Queanbeyan.
The ACT is compact, but a short drive across town doesn't help much when the assessors themselves are booked out. Adults seeking an ADHD assessment here often find the public system stretched and private waitlists long, which is exactly where a video pathway earns its place - it widens the pool of clinicians you can reach beyond whoever happens to have a Canberra address.
Canberra's working life shapes who comes to us. A lot of public servants, contractors and people juggling shift-heavy or deadline-driven roles notice that the patterns they'd put down to a demanding job don't lift when the job eases. Add the large ANU and University of Canberra student populations, where assessment questions tend to surface around exams and deadlines, and there's steady demand from people who simply want answers without a months-long queue.
The territory's borders are porous, too. Households routinely sit half in the ACT and half in surrounding NSW - Queanbeyan, Jerrabomberra, Bungendore, Murrumbateman - and a remote model doesn't care which side of the line your address falls on. You're assessed the same way regardless.
Each role on the team is distinct. A registered psychologist runs the detailed assessment; a psychiatrist, who is a medical doctor, then reviews the findings to confirm or rule out ADHD and to weigh treatment, including medication if it's clinically appropriate, with your GP kept in the loop for shared care. And because criteria aren't met by everyone, a clear, reasoned "this isn't ADHD" is a legitimate and helpful outcome.
