Queensland GPs can now diagnose adult ADHD
Update: 2025-11-30
Description
Queensland GPs can now diagnose adults with ADHD and prescribe stimulant medication, marking an Australian first. The change aims to reduce wait times for psychiatrist assessments, though concerns exist about potential over-diagnosis as GPs require no additional training. ADHD medication use has increased 300% in the last decade, with 470,000 Australians taking prescription medication between 2022 and 2023.
