TAS Pathway
What Should I Confirm First?
Use these prompts to ask clearer questions before you book, pay, travel, or rely on a particular pathway.
Start With A GP Conversation
Ask your GP what should be considered, whether referral is appropriate, and what information would help them assess your situation.
- What else could explain these concerns besides ADHD?
- Should sleep, anxiety, mood, trauma, thyroid, hormones, medicines, substance use, or other health factors be reviewed?
- What notes, reports, or history would help you decide the next step?
Confirm Referral Details
Referral requirements can affect booking, rebates, appointment length, and which clinician can review you.
- What clinician type is appropriate for my circumstances?
- Should the referral mention a specific assessment question, MBS item, or appointment type?
- How long is the referral valid, and what should I check before booking?
