ADHD assessment in Perth
Perth sits further from another capital than almost any city on earth, and local ADHD waits can stretch for months. Seen ADHD assesses, diagnoses and treats ADHD by secure video from home, on Perth time. Psychologists lead the assessment and a psychiatrist confirms any diagnosis. Not everyone assessed has ADHD, and a clear "no" is a valid result.
Being the most isolated capital in the world has a cost: when local appointment books fill up, the next option is often flying east. Telehealth makes that unnecessary. Whether you're in Joondalup or Wanneroo to the north, through the inner suburbs, or down towards Rockingham and Mandurah, you connect to your clinicians by video from a private room at home — no metro drive, no Perth-to-east-coast flight, and no taking a day off just to travel.
We know WA runs on rosters that don't fit a 9-to-5 clinic. Plenty of people who reach us are on FIFO swings to the Pilbara, the Goldfields or offshore, or working shift patterns where a fixed weekday appointment is impossible. Because care is delivered by video and scheduled around you, an assessment can be slotted into a week back at home rather than abandoned because the timing never lines up.
Your assessment is shared across a team rather than resting on one person. Registered psychologists run the in-depth Seen ADHD Pathway — a two-hour session from $995 covering your developmental history, standardised questionnaires and how symptoms play out at work and home. The diagnosis itself is confirmed by a psychiatrist, who is a medical doctor, only where the recognised criteria are met; that same psychiatrist oversees any treatment, including medication where it is clinically appropriate and within Australian prescribing rules, while your GP keeps things joined up.
The process follows the Australian Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guideline for ADHD (AADPA), which means looking carefully at sleep, anxiety, mood and the toll of long FIFO cycles before settling on any conclusion. You can begin with an Initial Telehealth Assessment from $149 to check the pathway fits, with ongoing Treatment & Review care from $1,495 if ADHD is confirmed.
A current GP referral is generally needed to see a psychiatrist with a Medicare rebate, and rebates depend on your situation rather than a fixed amount. Check what applies with your WA GP or Services Australia — we'll guide the referral side but won't quote a figure we can't stand behind.
