Dr James Maxwell is a Specialist GP with experience managing ADHD in adults.
Recent legislative changes in Queensland (effective December 2025) now allow qualified GPs with advanced training to diagnose and manage ADHD without requiring referral to a psychiatrist, making care significantly more accessible and affordable for Queensland residents.
Dr Maxwell provides a comprehensive, evidence-based assessment that considers all contributing factors, associated conditions, and risks. You’ll receive a detailed clinical report, clear treatment recommendations, and a holistic management plan from diagnosis through ongoing care.
Key points
Adult ADHD assessments for patients aged 18 and over
No GP referral required to book
Comprehensive evaluation and treatment pathway
More affordable and accessible care for Queenslanders
Have an Established ADHD Diagnosis?
Dr Maxwell can provide ongoing care for adults with a confirmed ADHD diagnosis from a paediatrician or psychiatrist where a treatment plan has been commenced.
This 40-minute consultation focuses on medication review, symptom monitoring, and continuity of care, following Australian prescribing and safety standards. Specialist letter required.
Have had a Full Diagnostic Assessment for ADHD with a Registered Clinical Psychologist?
You are still able to undertake formal diagnosis through the Established ADHD Pathway however due to the need to medically formalise the diagnosis a follow-up appointment may be required before treatment can be initiated.
Important:
Due to interstate legislative restrictions, this service is currently only available to Queensland residents, and the assessment must be completed in person.
This short questionnaire helps identify whether your current symptoms may be consistent with ADHD as a cause for impaired functioning in your daily life. It takes around 5 minutes to complete.
Instructions
Click the link below to complete the ASRS questionnaire online.
Answer each question honestly based on your typical behaviour over the past 6 months. (This tool does not provide a diagnosis — it is a screening questionnaire used to support clinical assessment.)
If your results are suggestive of symptoms of ADHD during adulthood book an appointment for an assessment.
