About this service
Specialist adult ADHD assessment.
Structured adult ADHD assessment for people in Geelong and across Victoria — by secure video, on AEST / AEDT. SetMind psychiatrists work from your GP referral, validated screeners and a comprehensive specialist interview, then send a written formulation back to your GP.
Appointments run on AEST / AEDT and are scheduled to suit working Geelong adults. You'll be seen by an AHPRA-registered psychiatrist; the written assessment goes back to your referring GP so care stays joined-up across Victoria.
