FAQ
How do I get an ADHD diagnosis in Bondi?
To get an ADHD diagnosis at My ADHD Centre Bondi, you’ll need a referral letter from your GP or a medical specialist, then book an initial assessment. During the first appointment, our psychiatrists review your current symptoms, personal history, and any prior treatment to clarify your diagnosis. Most assessments take 1–2 sessions to complete. We see both children and adults, in person at our Bondi Junction and Maroubra locations, or via telepsychiatry (video-conference) if you’re unable to attend face-to-face.
Steps to book:
- Get a referral letter from your GP (required at time of booking)
- Call (02) 8788 5785, Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM, or submit a booking request online with your referral attached (PDF preferred)
- Attend your initial assessment session(s)
- Receive diagnostic clarification and a collaborative treatment plan
Frequently Asked Questions.
During the first appointment we aim to develop an understanding of:
â—Ź What is troubling you at present
â—Ź How these difficulties have occurred
â—Ź What you want to gain from seeking care
You will be asked about your current symptoms and experiences, life history, and prior treatment. We will clarify your current diagnosis so that you can work towards a better understanding of why you feel the way you do, and how you might manage things more effectively. Sometimes this initial assessment may take more than one session. It is a collaborative process to understand what treatment will work best.
Please be advised that prescriptions for Dexamfetamine, Vyvanse, Ritalin, and Concerta, as Schedule 8 medications, will expire after six months, regardless of whether the repeats have been dispensed.
Our medical practitioners are only able to renew your prescription following a review appointment. Kindly note that appointments are in high demand, and it is not possible to issue bridging prescriptions without a consultation. It is the patient’s responsibility to ensure they do not run out of medication prior to securing an appointment.
