Cost & funding
Fees depend on the service, the provider and the length of the session. Ask each provider for their fees before the first visit.
If an ADHD assessment is the next step, it usually starts with your GP, who can refer your child to a paediatrician. With a GP referral, Medicare pays a rebate for the paediatrician visit. Ask each provider for the full cost of an assessment before you book. Medicare also pays a rebate for some psychology sessions when your GP writes a Mental Health Treatment Plan.
If your child has an NDIS plan that includes these supports, you can use it. If your plan is self-managed or plan-managed, you can also use providers that are not NDIS registered. If the NDIA manages your plan, you must use registered providers.

First conversation
Most psychologists spend the first session on background: what led you to seek help, your family and your child's history. Some psychologists see parents alone first.
Questionnaires
You may fill in questionnaires. The psychologist may ask to contact your child's school or kindergarten.
A plan for sessions
The psychologist explains how treatment could work. With a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan, Medicare pays part of the cost: 6 sessions to start, then up to 10 a year.

Frequently asked questions
Toddlers are very active and find it hard to sit still. They are only just developing self-control, and waiting even a few seconds can be hard for them. Most children find it hard to pay attention or control impulsive behaviour some of the time. Paying attention and controlling impulses are skills children learn as they grow and their brain develops.
A child may be easily distracted in a busy place. They may find big feelings harder to manage when they are hungry, tired or when things do not go their way. Sitting still can sometimes be hard, such as when children are tired, hungry or unwell. Most children concentrate better on activities they enjoy.
Your child will need practice and lots of help from you to learn to pay attention. Let your child be active before they sit still, and remove distractions when they need to concentrate. You can also offer short tasks that are easy to finish, and have short breaks between activities.
The Royal Children's Hospital says that if your child's behaviours are affecting their daily life and causing problems, it is best to speak with their doctor. It also says to take your child to their regular doctor (GP) if you think they may have ADHD. You can still get help even if your child does not get a diagnosis of ADHD.
