GP Led ADHD Assessment and Management
Telehealth ADHD assessments and ongoing management along with ADHD Mental Health Care.
ADHD
We offer three options to support people with ADHD:
ADHD Assessment Pathway
Assessment, diagnosis, and any medication initiation are managed by the ADHD GP. Suitable for teenagers and adults in Tasmania who have not previously received a formal ADHD diagnosis.
Review Pathway
For Tasmanian residents with an existing ADHD diagnosis who need to re-establish ongoing management after moving interstate, an expired permit, or changing prescribing clinicians. It is always great to meet people already on their journey.
ADHD Mental Health Care
An ADHD diagnosis can bring new questions. These appointments provide time to learn about ADHD, discuss its impact on your daily life and explore practical ways to manage. Dr McKeown provides ADHD psychoeducation through dedicated Focused Psychological Strategies (FPS) appointments. Your regular GP can provide you a Mental Health Plan for access to these sessions.
Assessment and Review Fees
Medicare rebates do not apply to assessment or medication review appointments. See the ADHD Mental Health Care section above for FPS appointment fees and rebate information.

Suitability Screen
A short pre-booking screen checks residency and whether our telehealth ADHD service is likely to be suitable for your circumstances. Requests are reviewed for clinical suitability, telehealth requirements, and service capacity.

Initial GP Consultation
The first telehealth appointment covers your history and reasons for seeking an ADHD assessment and is the start of the structured assessment. Homework is given at the end of this appointment!

Continue Assessment
The second telehealth appointment continues the assessment process, including review of rating scales (homework) and collateral information (input from other people you selected). Referrals for pathology testing and an ECG are provided after the second appointment.

Review All Results & Start Medication if Recommended
The third telehealth appointment brings together all assessment findings. Dr McKeown will discuss the outcome with you, provide a diagnosis where applicable, and initiate medication if clinically recommended and appropriate.

Medication Titration & Ongoing Support
Follow-up review appointments measure and check in regarding new medications to find the right dose, and provide education and support to help you understand and manage your ADHD effectively.
