Could you have ADHD?
Free screener
for Australians.

Q: Is this ADHD test valid in Australia?

Yes. The ASRS-v1.1 is the same screening tool used by GPs and psychiatrists across Australia as a first-line assessment. It was developed with the World Health Organization and is widely used in Australian clinical settings.

Q: How do I get an official ADHD diagnosis in Australia?

Start with your GP. Bring your screener results and describe how symptoms affect your daily life. Your GP can refer you to a psychiatrist or psychologist for a formal diagnostic assessment. Telehealth services have made this more accessible — typical wait times range from 2 weeks to several months.

Q: Does Medicare cover ADHD assessment in Australia?

A GP consultation is Medicare-covered. Psychiatric assessments vary — some attract a Medicare rebate under a Mental Health Care Plan. Ask your GP which pathway is most cost-effective for your situation.

Q: Can a GP diagnose ADHD in Australia?

GPs can screen for ADHD and initiate referrals, but a formal diagnosis in Australia is typically made by a psychiatrist or psychologist with ADHD expertise. Your GP may be able to manage treatment once a diagnosis is established.

Used by clinicians worldwide. Takes 2 minutes. Get an instant breakdown of your scores - then take the results to your GP.

This is a screening tool only - not a diagnostic instrument. It cannot diagnose ADHD. Only a qualified mental health or medical professional can diagnose ADHD after a full clinical evaluation. Use these results as a conversation-starter with your doctor.

1 in 20 Australians lives with ADHD - and most are diagnosed as adults.

Ask your doctor for a referral to a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist who specialises in adult ADHD.
Keep a symptom diary for 2 weeks before your appointment - note specific moments when symptoms interfered with your life.
