Q: How do I get an ADHD diagnosis in NSW?

Start with your GP. Take the ASRS-v1.1 screener and bring your results. Your GP can refer you to a psychiatrist or psychologist for formal assessment. Private assessments in Sydney typically cost $800–$2,000 with Medicare rebates. Public referrals through NSW Health mental health services are available but wait times can be lengthy.

Q: Are there ADHD specialists in regional NSW?

Yes, though availability is more limited than in Sydney. Telehealth services like Osana and CADU operate across regional NSW and can significantly reduce wait times. Ask your GP for a telehealth referral if local specialist wait times are long.

Q: Does Medicare cover ADHD assessment in NSW?

GP consultations are Medicare-covered. Psychiatric assessments attract Medicare rebates (around $170–$445 per consultation). A Mental Health Care Plan from your GP can provide rebated psychology sessions. Always check with the provider before booking about their Medicare arrangements.

Based on the WHO-validated ASRS-v1.1. Takes 2 minutes. Get an instant score breakdown - then take the results to your NSW 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.

Over 600,000 people in NSW are estimated to live with ADHD - most receive their diagnosis as adults.

Remember: A high score does not mean you have ADHD, and a low score does not rule it out. Many conditions share symptoms with ADHD. This tool is based on the ASRS-v1.1, a validated screener, but screening is not diagnosis.

What to do next

Share these results with your primary care doctor, psychiatrist, or psychologist - you can print or screenshot this page.
A proper ADHD diagnosis involves a clinical interview, behavioral history (often going back to childhood), and ruling out other conditions like anxiety, depression, or sleep disorders.
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.
