Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common condition that affects both children and adults, impacting focus, behaviour, and daily functioning. With recent updates in Australia allowing General Practitioners (GPs) to play a greater role in ADHD management, patients can now access more convenient and continuous care.

At Cannon Hill Family Doctors, Dr Arvandi is now offering comprehensive ADHD assessment and treatment services, providing accessible support for patients in the local community.

What is ADHD?

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect:

• Attention and concentration
• Impulsivity
• Hyperactivity
• Organisation and time management

It can present differently in children and adults, and early diagnosis can significantly improve quality of life.

ADHD Treatment by GPs in Australia

Recent changes in Australia now allow trained GPs to initiate and manage ADHD treatment, making care more accessible without long specialist wait times.

This means patients can:

• Receive assessments and ongoing management from their trusted GP
• Access medication (where appropriate) under GP supervision
• Benefit from continuous, personalised care

At Cannon Hill Family Doctors, Dr Arvandi follows the latest clinical guidelines to ensure safe and effective ADHD management.
