I don’t know. I just know that they provide assistance with navigating the diagnosis and paperwork.
I don’t know what state OP is in but more and more states are allowing GPs to conduct diagnosis due to the huge backlog/waitlist there is for ADHD diagnosis(NSW, SA and I think QLD). The waitlist for public psychs is usually something crazy like 8-12 months. There is a big push to address the long and expensive diagnosis process.









My experience is that GPs vary wildly in quality of care but I do believe that there is pretty wide support from them to be able to provide diagnosis. The situation is now at a point that the backlog is overflowing into the hospital and mental health wards and putting more pressure on the already buckling healthcare system.
I haven’t been diagnosed with ADHD but I was looking into it a few years ago and had a 9 month wait for an expensive psych. Found out it was a tumor causing my problems, so I didn’t move forward with the diagnosis.
