What to include in a referral letter

- The question you'd like answered, for example "Does this patient meet the criteria for ADHD?"
- Relevant history, current medicines and any previous assessments or reports
- For children and teenagers, recent school reports if the family has them
- Anything we should know about risk or support needs
For an ADHD assessment, please give the patient a referral. If you'd like our referral form, call us. The online form on this page asks only for contact details; please send clinical details in a letter.
What you receive
With the patient's consent, we send you a copy of the report, with findings, whether diagnostic criteria are met and recommendations. Your psychologist gives the patient a timeline at intake.
ADHD medicine in Queensland
Psychologists assess and write a report; we don't prescribe. From 1 December 2025, fully qualified GPs (Fellows of the RACGP or ACRRM) can start, change and continue ADHD stimulant medicine for adults, within dose limits, and paediatricians can prescribe up to age 24 (Queensland Health, updated 28 November 2025). Our reports don't promise medicine; treatment decisions sit with the treating doctor.
Senior exam adjustments (QCAA AARA)
For Units 3 and 4, documents for a long-term condition must be dated no earlier than 1 January of the student's Year 10 year. An earlier diagnosis needs only an update, which can also come from a GP or another relevant professional. The report states the diagnosis, its date and the impact on timed assessment.

The NDIS doesn't pay for assessments to diagnose conditions such as ADHD or autism. If you're already an NDIS participant, your plan may cover a functional capacity assessment; check with your plan manager. Flexible payment plans are available through MediPay (eligibility applies).
