ADHD assessment in Newcastle
Seen ADHD offers online ADHD assessments for adults across Newcastle and the wider Hunter region, delivered entirely by secure video. A registered psychologist leads a structured assessment, with a psychiatrist confirming any diagnosis and treatment. You take part from home, whether you're in the city, Lake Macquarie or Maitland.
Newcastle has become a magnet for people leaving Sydney for more space and a slower pace, and many arrive carrying questions they never got time to answer down south, including whether longstanding focus, organisation or restlessness struggles might point towards ADHD. Booking a private psychiatrist locally can mean long waits, so a video-based pathway gives Hunter residents a way to start without joining a queue at a metropolitan rooms.
Our assessment begins with a registered psychologist who spends around two hours getting to know you, your history and how things actually play out day to day. Because the appointment happens over video, where you sit in Hamilton, Charlestown or out towards Cessnock makes no difference to who you see or how thorough the assessment is.
Where the clinical picture supports it, a psychiatrist reviews the findings and confirms diagnosis, and can discuss treatment, including whether medication is appropriate as a regulated, individual decision. Anything ongoing is then coordinated in shared care with your regular GP, which suits people across the Hunter who already have a trusted local practice in Maitland, Raymond Terrace or Warners Bay.
It's worth being clear that an assessment is a genuine investigation, not a formality. Some people who come to us are told their difficulties are better explained by something else, and a considered 'no' is just as valid an outcome as a diagnosis.
- Built for Hunter residents from Newcastle city out to Lake Macquarie, Maitland and the Hunter Valley vineyards, with no need to drive into Sydney.
- Two-hour psychologist-led Seen ADHD Pathway assessment at $995, with an initial assessment from $149.
- Every appointment runs over secure video from your own home, so a move from Sydney or a job in the mines doesn't get in the way of being seen.

- A clear outcome either way, including the possibility that ADHD isn't the right explanation for what you're experiencing.
