Telehealth available Australia-wide
If you’ve been struggling with focus, follow-through, organisation, or emotional regulation, you may have wondered whether ADHD could be contributing.
For many adults, the difficulty isn’t just the symptoms. It’s not having a clear explanation for why things feel harder than they should.
This assessment is designed to provide clarity, structure, and direction, not just general insight.
✔ Understand whether ADHD is present
✔ Understand how it may be affecting your day-to-day functioning
✔ Know what your next steps may be
Do I have ADHD - and what do I do about it?
Who this is for
This assessment may be suitable if you:
struggle with attention, concentration, or distractibility
feel overwhelmed by planning, organisation, or completing tasks
find it difficult to follow through, even when you know what to do
experience emotional reactivity or difficulty regulating responses
feel capable, but inconsistent in your performance
have long-standing patterns that don’t fully make sense
are questioning whether ADHD may explain these difficulties
Why many people feel stuck before assessment
Many adults who later identify with ADHD describe:
being told it’s “just stress” or anxiety
trying strategies that don’t seem to work long-term
feeling frustrated by inconsistency
experiencing burnout from overcompensating
having no clear framework to understand their patterns
Without a structured assessment, it can be difficult to work out what is actually driving the difficulty, and what to do next.
What this assessment provides
This is a comprehensive psychological assessment designed to determine whether ADHD may be present and how it is impacting your functioning.
Adult assessment is detailed work, so it's spread across several appointments rather than one or two. Your assessment typically involves three telehealth appointments, plus questionnaires completed by you and, where possible, someone who knows you well or knew you as a child.
Your assessment includes:
validated questionnaires for you and your informant(s)
a structured clinical interview covering current difficulties and developmental history
integration and formulation of all the information gathered
a feedback appointment to talk through the outcome
a diagnostic letter stating whether diagnostic criteria for ADHD are met
Optional: comprehensive written report
The diagnostic letter confirms the outcome. A written report explains it: how the criteria are met, how ADHD-related patterns show up in your life, and recommendations for what may help.
A report can be useful for:
workplace or study adjustments
sharing with your GP, psychiatrist or treating team
a fuller written understanding of yourself
Many people find the diagnostic letter is enough to take to their GP or psychiatrist. If you're applying for adjustments or support, check what that pathway requires before you book. You can also add the report later.
Please note that acceptance of letters and reports may vary depending on the requirements of the receiving professional or organisation.
What happens after this assessment
Where appropriate, your assessment may:
provide diagnostic clarification
support discussion with your GP or psychiatrist about treatment options
provide clarity for work, study, or personal understanding
help you understand what your next steps may be
What’s involved
Step 1: Pre-assessment measures
You'll complete a set of validated questionnaires assessing attention, executive functioning, and related patterns. Your informant(s) will complete their own.
Step 2: Clinical interview
A structured interview exploring current symptoms, developmental history, and how these patterns show up in your daily life.
Step 3: Feedback and diagnostic letter
We meet to talk through the outcome, and you receive your diagnostic letter.
Optional Step 4: Written report
If you've chosen a report, it's provided approximately two weeks after all questionnaires have been returned.
