Its been a VERY busy last 2 years. Breathing? Check. Still dedicated? Always. Waitlist open again? YES!!

Rest assured, if you put in an EOI when the waitlist was closed, you are now on the waitlist. We are working to get to you as quick as we can 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃

The opportunity for desperately needed change is here! Whether its via a quick brain dump (hello dictation tool), or via an odyssey with the deepest of hyperfocus dives, be sure to make a submission to the Tasmanian government's inquiry into ADHD services. The voices of those with lived experience of ADHD are critical. Your experiences and your opinions matter. Get on it! 👉

Em Rusciano - what a way to represent!! THANK YOU! Amazing presentation to watch here folks. Not a bad little Q and A follow up either 😉

What's being done to make assessments more affordable? How can I support someone with ADHD? Our experts answered all your burning questions about ADHD following Em Rusciano's National Press Club address.

A very thought provoking article here. Interested to hear what people think, especially our high school teachers out there!

I have 20 new students entering my classroom every hour. The frenzied pace is failing everyone.

Very interesting idea here! So is reading easier this way? Let's test it! Step one - BEFORE READING FROM THE IMAGE- pick 'right' or 'left' (random choice). Step 2 - read the column on the side of the image that you chose randomly. Step 3 - read the column on the other side. Step 4 - comment with the column you read 1st, and which column was easier to read. Optional extra, comment with whether you consider yourself to be neurotypical (NT) or neurodivergent (ND) e.g. "Left 1st, right easier, ND"

Well, 'no waitlist' is not a phrase used very often these days.... but we're going to use it!! If you are seeking a cognitive/educational assessment for your child, or occupational therapy services for your child, we can make a booking for you with no wait required (for now at least). Note that we provide these services for ANY child, not just those with ADHD. Get in touch for more information or to arrange your booking - 😃

Contact Hobart ADHD - We'd love to chat about how we can help you and your family.

With only one specialised clinic and a limited choice of psychiatrists, getting ADHD support in Tasmania as an adult is all but impossible.

Tiktok is generating some good opportunities to raise more awareness around women and ADHD! Don't mind if we do 😀

For years, experts thought ADHD only existed in children, and that the condition presented in certain symptoms more common in boys than girls. That assumption meant that some women are diagnosed much later in life, which leaves them paying more for some medications.
