NEW FACILITATED TELEPSYCHIATRY SERVICE
(AGES 12+)

We are currently accepting new patients for facilitated telehealth appointments with both Adult Psychiatrists and Child & Adolescent Psychiatrists for individuals aged twelve years and older.

Please note that we are only able to accommodate non-crisis patients. We have also developed a separate pathway for patients with suspected ADHD in this age group.

The intake process involves completing an online form which we will send out once a referral is received. An additional clinic review and further questionnaire-based diagnostic tools will be necessary for those being assessed for ADHD and neurodiversity. Once the intake process is completed, we will arrange a facilitated telehealth appointment through our clinic with a suitable psychiatrist.

Cost:
There is an out of pocket fee of $200 for a one hour consultation block with a psychiatrist.

For those undergoing additional assessments for ADHD and neurodiversity, there is an additional out of pocket cost of $300 (non Medicare rebatable). This cost includes initial assessments clinics and assessment prior to specialist review, six months of shared care prescribing and titration if stimulants are recommended.

Please address all referrals to
