Discovering and addressing ADHD in children is crucial for their development and well-being. At Telecare, we understand the importance of early detection and intervention. Our paediatric services specialise in diagnosing ADHD in children, and offering comprehensive assessments in a friendly and professional environment. Through Telecare, families can access guidance to navigate ADHD challenges, ensuring every child receives the tailored care they deserve.
When seeking a pediatrician’s assessment for your child, it is important to recognize that insights from behavioral reports and formal evaluations conducted by allied health professionals can provide valuable context. However, each pediatrician is an independent practitioner who will formulate their diagnosis and treatment plan based on their clinical evaluation, taking into account all relevant information. Please note that the pediatrician’s opinion may differ from diagnoses given by other professionals or those needed for NDIS funding purposes.
After you have obtained a valid GP referral for your child, please complete the assessment forms. We will attempt to match your referral with an appropriate paediatrician based on the information you have provided.

You don't need anything fancy. Just make sure you have a stable internet connection – it doesn't have to be super fast. Use a laptop or desktop computer if you can, with a working microphone, speaker, and camera. If not, your smartphone or tablet will work fine as long as you have internet (WiFi or mobile data). Open a fresh web browser with no other tabs to avoid technical issues. Try to join a few minutes early in a quiet, private space where you won't be interrupted for about an hour.
