Accepted Answer

Virtual appointments may be suitable for many adults, but the physician will decide whether virtual care is clinically appropriate and whether in-person care or additional information is needed.

Accepted Answer

Referral requirements are an operational clinic policy and must be confirmed before publication. Please check the booking page or contact the clinic if you are unsure.

Do you assess adults?

Accepted Answer

This ADHD service is intended for adults. The current draft minimum age is 18 and requires clinical confirmation.
