UNDERSTANDING THE SERVICE
Why consider adult ADHD screening?
Attention difficulties can look different from person to person. You might focus deeply on something interesting but struggle to start routine tasks, meet deadlines, remember details or switch between activities. Screening helps you explore these patterns and how they affect work, study, relationships and daily life.
Screening asks structured questions about attention, organisation, starting tasks and daily activities. It also considers the strategies you already use. The findings may help you choose practical next steps or decide whether further assessment would be useful.
COMMON EXPERIENCES
You might recognise some of these experiences.
People explore ADHD screening for many reasons. These examples help you consider whether the service is relevant; everyone’s experiences are individual.

What the personalised written report is designed to provide.
The $395 In-Depth package includes a personalised professional written report, not merely a screening score. Standard Screening ($149) includes a shorter practitioner-reviewed written results summary. The optional 30-minute ADHD feedback consultation is separately priced at $80.
Structured findings
Relevant patterns from an appropriate screening process, explained together with its limitations.
Everyday functioning
Consideration of reported attention, organisation, task initiation, strengths and the demands of daily life.
Individualised explanation
A clear account of key themes and relevant context, without presenting screening as a diagnosis.
Practical next steps
Person-centred strategies to consider and referral guidance where a formal assessment or additional input may help.
The final format, suitable screening measures, secure administration and service availability are confirmed before commencement. Written guidance is not a diagnostic certificate or a substitute for a suitably qualified diagnostic assessment.

PERSONALISED GUIDANCE
Feedback that connects screening patterns with daily life.
We first clarify the questions you want answered and which screening option suits that purpose. The questions may cover attention, task initiation, organisation and examples from work, study, relationships or earlier life.
If you choose personalised written feedback, the practitioner reviews the screening responses alongside the information you provide, identifies relevant themes and prepares a structured explanation with practical considerations and possible next steps. The optional 30-minute report feedback consultation is arranged separately for an additional $80; it is not included in the $395 package.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Before you begin
Do I need a previous ADHD assessment?
No previous assessment is needed to enquire. We will clarify the information useful for the screening process and what the service can offer.
What if I already have an ADHD diagnosis?
Screening and personalised guidance may still be useful to explore functioning and strategies. Let us know your goals so we can identify a suitable service.
Can I upgrade to written professional feedback later?
Where the screening data and review process allow it, an additional written feedback service may be available. We will explain the extra work and fee before proceeding.
Will this give me a formal diagnosis?
This service provides structured screening and guidance. When a formal diagnostic assessment is appropriate, we can discuss relevant referral pathways. For general background, read our educational article on adult ADHD attention patterns.
How long does it take?
Time depends on the chosen tool, history requested and feedback option. We will confirm the expected process before you begin.
