General Information
We are currently accepting new referrals for online ADHD assessments children and adults.
Our wait times are between 1-4 weeks.
Our ADHD assessments have three elements:
- The first step is an online pre-assessment form which takes about 45 minutes to complete.
- This is followed by an online Telehealth appointment with your Fluence Clinic psychiatrist, which will be between 45-60 minutes.
- If you attract a diagnosis of ADHD, the psychiatrist will discuss a comprehensive management plan and send a delegation letter to your GP in order for your GP to prescribe stimulant medication (where appropriate).
It would be imperative that you check with your GP prior to seeing the psychiatrist, that he or she will be happy to apply for a schedule 8 permit, and prescribe medication after receiving the delegation letter.
If your GP is hesitant to prescribe stimulants please contact us and we will signpost you in the right direction.

Benefits Of ADHD Testing
ADHD is one of the more treatable psychological concerns. Early detection and diagnosis can be highly beneficial for an adult who has undiagnosed ADHD.
An adult ADHD assessment can provide many benefits, including:
- Receive an accurate diagnosis of ADHD;
- You’ll gain a better understanding of ADHD symptoms and severity;
- Identification of your personal strengths and weaknesses;
- Customised treatment plans;
- Access to resources and the right support;
- Improved quality of life.
The most important benefit of an assessment for ADHD is to gain a greater understanding of one’s self.
Following diagnosis, many people learn that certain problems that they have always experienced can actually be managed and/or treated.
