For health professionals
How to participate in the reforms, including endorsed training and general authority applications.
For consumers
How the reforms impact you, and whether you are eligible to see a GP for your ongoing medication prescriptions.
- These reforms will improve access to care and reduce waiting times and costs for people seeking access to diagnosis and management of ADHD.
- Currently, most people seeking assessment and diagnosis for ADHD are referred by their GP to see a paediatrician or psychiatrist.
- The first stage of the NSW ADHD reforms allows people aged 6 years and older who have already been diagnosed with ADHD and stabilised on their medication to see their GP for ongoing prescriptions.
- The second stage of the reforms will support a smaller number of GPs in priority areas to diagnose ADHD and start medication, where needed.
