Affordable ADHD Assessment & Treatment in Queensland

Traditional psychiatry can cost over $500/hour, with ADHD assessments costing over $1000 (plus the ongoing cost of follow-ups).

At Kantoko, we offer a more affordable and accessible telehealth ADHD assessment and ongoing support. Our doctors review your information ahead of time so your appointment can focus on what matters: listening, assessing and supporting you.

Our focus is on your long-term health and wellbeing so our membership is designed to support you well beyond your initial assessment.

After your first month ($200), you'll move to a $100/month Kantoko Membership, which includes:

• Follow-up appointments
• Ongoing access to your care team
• Prescription renewals and reminders
• Easy online health tracking

It's common for assessments to take 2-4 sessions to complete. There are no out of pocket costs if your assessment takes longer than expected.

Our process includes a comprehensive pre-assessment review of your information so it's important to provide detailed answers where possible. This helps your doctor understand your situation prior to the telehealth appointment.

Your first telehealth appointment takes 45 minutes. Follow-ups are dependent on your needs and can be scheduled as required.

Step 1 – Sign Up & Complete Your Assessments

Start by completing our ADHD assessments at your own pace. This helps your specialist get a clear, complete picture before your first appointment.

Step 2 – See Your GP for a Referral and Routine Tests

Before booking, you'll need to visit your GP to get:

• A referral letter
• A few routine health checks, including an ECG and standard blood tests

We'll guide you through exactly what to ask for—most GPs can handle everything in one visit.

Step 3 – Book Your Appointment

Once your referral and test results are uploaded, you'll be able to schedule your initial consultation—typically available within a few weeks.
Your mental health doctor will review your history, assess your symptoms, and, if ADHD is diagnosed, work with you to create a tailored treatment plan.

Step 4 – Stay Supported with Ongoing Care

Your journey doesn't end at diagnosis. With Kantoko, you'll have access to your care team and the platform for follow-ups, prescription renewals, and symptom tracking—all designed to support you long-term.

If you're not diagnosed with ADHD, your membership will be cancelled and no further payments will be required.

Your $100/month membership gives you everything you need for ongoing ADHD support:

• Follow-up appointments with your mental health doctor and specialist team.
• Ongoing access to your care team for questions, updates, and support.
• Prescription renewals and medication reminders
• A personalised health dashboard to track your symptoms, treatment progress, and communicate with your team

We require a valid Medicare card to access the platform. However, Medicare does not currently cover Kantoko's platform fees.

Our focus is ADHD, but we understand that many people experience co-occurring conditions like anxiety or depression. Your clinician will take a holistic approach and can support these needs as part of your care plan.

Kantoko is designed for individuals seeking assessment and long-term support for ADHD. However, we may not be the right fit for everyone.

You may not be suitable for Kantoko if you:

• Require a high level of psychiatric care or crisis intervention
• Have severe or unmanaged co-occurring conditions such as psychosis, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder
• Are currently experiencing suicidal thoughts or acute mental health episodes
• Need in-person psychiatric care or hospital-based support

If any of the above apply, we recommend seeking support from your GP or local mental health service, who can connect you with the right level of care.

We currently support adult ADHD diagnosis and care in the following states:

• Available: NSW, QLD, VIC, TAS
• Limited Access: SA (clinician availability may vary)

If you're not in one of these states — complete our online assessment and we'll add you to our waitlist. We'll contact you as soon as Kantoko becomes available in your area.

Yes. Kantoko is a fully online platform, so you can access ADHD assessment and care from anywhere in your state, including rural and remote areas—as long as we support your region.

All appointments, follow-ups, and prescriptions are handled digitally, so you get high-quality care, no matter where you live.
