Adult ADHD has become a significant focus area within the Australian mental health system due to rapidly increasing demand for diagnosis, medication, and ongoing support. This growth has outpaced existing service capacity, particularly in public and regional settings.

The Australasian ADHD Professionals Association’s (2022) guideline for clinical practice recommends psychoeducation, skills-based psychological interventions, and environmental supports as part of comprehensive care.

Learning Outcomes

  • Describe how system reform effects shared accountability in collaborative care models for adults with ADHD.
  • Apply practical strategies for building effective professional networks and referral pathways.
  • Identify the implications for care due to increased reliance on ADHD screening tools and rapid assessment models.
  • Identify how shared care and clear role boundaries enable best practice care for adults with ADHD, specifically exploring the relationships between prescribing and non-prescribing roles.

Attend this webinar to hear our panel explore what effective, person-centred support can look like when supporting people with ADHD. Register and attend the webinar live to be among the first to engage with the content.

The webinar recording will be released 1 week after the broadcast.

The session teaches you how to use the IAR-DST, not how to conduct an assessment. The IAR-DST is not an assessment tool; it is a decision aid.
