The sucky thing is that the public system in WA (don’t know about other states) doesn’t and will not cover ADHD assessments. Ask me how I know D:
Just paid 1600$ aud for an assessment. :(
Apparently here in Victoria it is covered by Medicare, but depends on which specialist you get. I feel for you for forking over that kind of cash, but from what I’ve been told from the many ADHDers in my life, as much as the cost might hurt at first, it’ll end up being worth it. Although, it would be a heck of a lot better to be covered by Medicare.
Personally, I’m planning to get ADHD and Autism assessments in the future (not sure how soon, but probably a year or two away, since I’m still compiling data on myself), so I really should be doing research on eligibility for subsidisation for either.
