📢 ADHD assessment and treatment is now easier to access in Victoria
As of Monday 26 October, specially trained GPs in Victoria can diagnose ADHD, start treatment and prescribe ADHD medication for adults and children aged 6 and over.
Until now, this usually meant long waits and high costs to see a specialist. Trained GPs now offer a quicker, more affordable option closer to home.

⚠️ Before you book
The Victorian Department of Health lists these clinics as having at least one GP who has completed the approved ADHD training. That doesn't mean every GP there offers ADHD care. It also doesn't guarantee appointments, bulk billing or open books. Some clinics may have waitlists, age limits or limited ADHD appointments, and costs vary. Please call the clinic first to check availability, fees and whether they're taking new ADHD referrals.
💡 Good to know
ADHD care often involves more than medication. Ask your GP about other supports that may help, such as psychology, mental health social work, occupational therapy, or support at school or work. With a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP, you may be able to get Medicare rebates for sessions with a psychologist or an accredited mental health social worker.
