Pathway What it can include Medication Cost, timing and follow-up
ADHD-focused care platform
Kantoko telehealth care
Adult ADHD assessment and ongoing care from an ADHD-focused team, in one platform with a health dashboard, records, requests, care-team communication and practical educational content.
Your ADHD Doctor can discuss medication and coordinate the Tasmanian authority pathway when clinically appropriate. A Tasmanian prescriber may need to participate.
$200 for the first month, then $100 per month. Appointments are currently estimated in 2-4 weeks. Your GP referral and routine checks stay local. [1]
Tasmanian psychiatrist
Medical specialist assessment and treatment from a psychiatrist practising in Tasmania. Adult ADHD experience and follow-up vary by clinician and clinic.
A Tasmanian psychiatrist can apply for section 59E authority to prescribe stimulant medication.
Initial assessment pathways commonly cost $1,000 or more, with waits of six months or longer. Ask what the fee includes and whether ongoing appointments are available. [5] [1]
Psychologist assessment
Psychological assessment, with therapy or practical strategies where offered.
Psychologists cannot prescribe medication. Medication assessment and prescribing require a separate medical practitioner.
A full assessment often runs across four to six sessions and can cost thousands of dollars. Ask whether the report will support any later specialist and Tasmanian prescribing pathway. [5] [1]
Tasmanian GP after specialist assessment
A Tasmanian GP may apply to prescribe after assessment and diagnosis by a relevant medical specialist.
The GP applies for authority using the specialist report, management plan and recommended treatment.
An interstate specialist can support this application. They cannot personally hold the Tasmanian prescribing authority. [1]
ADHD coaches
Practical support with routines, planning, follow-through and environmental or behavioural strategies.
Coaching does not include medical assessment or prescribing. It can sit alongside clinical care.
Fees, session length and packages vary. Check credentials, privacy, scope and how coaching will fit with your clinical care. [6]
