- Referrals for additional support
- Evidence-based treatment approaches
- Direct access to your psychiatrist
- A focus on long-term development
Recognising the Signs
When Attention or Behaviour Differences Warrant a Closer Look
Every child experiences challenges from time to time, but persistent difficulty with concentration, impulsivity, or hyperactivity can begin to affect school, friendships, and family life in noticeable ways.
A comprehensive psychiatric assessment offers clarity on what is contributing to these difficulties and outlines the most appropriate next steps for your child.
A Structured ADHD Assessment Focused on Your Child
A Child ADHD assessment involves more than observing symptoms. Your psychiatrist reviews developmental history, current challenges, and functioning across settings before determining whether ADHD, or another condition, is contributing to these difficulties.
Early Development
A review of developmental milestones and relevant early history.
Present Difficulties
The specific challenges currently affecting school, home, or friendships.
Everyday Functioning
How attention and behaviour affect functioning across different settings.
Clinical Evaluation
A structured evaluation against recognised diagnostic criteria for ADHD.
Diagnostic Outcome
A clear explanation of the assessment findings and diagnosis.
Recommended Next Steps
Practical recommendations and a treatment plan tailored to your child.

At what age can a child be assessed for ADHD?
ADHD can typically be assessed from around age four, although symptoms often become more apparent once a child begins school.
Does my child need a GP referral for an assessment?
A referral isn’t required to book an assessment, but you need a valid GP referral to access Medicare rebates for psychiatry consultations.
Will my child need medication if diagnosed with ADHD?
Not necessarily. Treatment is tailored to each child and may include behavioural strategies, school-based support, or medication where clinically appropriate.
Can I attend the assessment with my child?
Yes. Parent or carer involvement is an important part of the assessment process and is required for children.
