The library
Long answers to the questions the rest of the site answers quickly. Every guide is dated, sticks to what can be checked, and says so when a number is deliberately not printed.
Last checked 8 August 2026
Guides are reviewed when the rules they describe change. The next scheduled shifts: GP prescribing in New South Wales and Victoria around September and October 2026, and Thriving Kids from 1 October 2026.
Money, systems and the moves that actually work: assessment costs and preparation, the NDIS, shortages, telehealth, burnout, and the honest ledger of what a diagnosis changes.
What to gather before an adult ADHD assessment in Australia: the childhood evidence, the examples that matter, the questions to ask the clinic, and what happens in the room. Preparation shortens the process and sharpens the result.
What to do when your ADHD medicine is out of stock in Australia: the TGA shortage database, the order-ahead routine, substitution rules during declared shortages, and the conversations that keep treatment running.
Video psychiatrist assessment carries the same $467.45 Medicare rebate as in person and works from anywhere in Australia. How the process runs, what telehealth does not change, and the five checks before paying any online clinic.
Burnout in autistic ADHD adults: why it hits this combination hardest, how it differs from ordinary exhaustion and looks like depression, what recovery actually involves, and when to get professional help.
The honest ledger: what a diagnosis unlocks in Australia (treatment, adjustments, some payments) and what it touches that people worry about (driving, insurance applications, work disclosure, records). General information, dated and sourced.
From 1 October 2026, children aged 8 and under begin moving off the NDIS onto the Thriving Kids program, with full rollout by January 2028. What is actually announced, what is not yet published, and what parents can do now.
About $1,400 before Medicare, $467.45 back on item 92435, and a gap that swings by a thousand dollars. Every cheaper route.
Why ADHD alone rarely meets access rules, when a combined picture can, what evidence matters, and what to use instead.
The community term, why both could only be diagnosed together from 2013, and what the combination changes in practice.
The recognition library: what AuDHD looks like from inside, why so many people find out late, and the state by state assessment register.
The patterns doctors miss: capability with craters, sensory intensity, focus like weather, the routine paradox, burnout.
The shared ground, the opposite engines, and the trap of stopping at one diagnosis.
Why the system missed you, why recognition peaks at midlife, and what to do with it.
The hidden cost of performing normal, and unmasking without burning your life down.
The national register: what each state allows today, dated.
Screeners, MBS mechanics, state rules and the two national guidelines.
The recognition tool sorts thirty-two experiences into ADHD flavoured, autistic flavoured and common to both, and shows where your ticks sit. Two minutes, nothing leaves your device, and it is a mirror, not a test.
