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.

Dr Maxwell can assess concerns related to facial expression lines and muscle activity. Treatment helps soften the appearance of certain dynamic lines or address areas of muscle tension.

Common areas assessed include the forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet, jaw muscles (masseter), and neck bands.

All treatments are tailored to the individual following a medical consultation. Suitability varies between patients, and potential risks, benefits, and alternatives will be discussed before any treatment is provided.

As these treatments involve prescription medicines, specific product information and pricing cannot be advertised.

Pricing information is available by contacting the clinic or by completing the online enquiry form.

Your health is more than just “getting by.”

  Screening for symptoms such as low libido, reduced strength, mood changes, weight gain, poor sleep, and low drive.

• Weight and metabolic health
  Assessment of weight changes, abdominal weight gain, insulin resistance, cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes risk, and lifestyle factors.

  Checking in on stress, anxiety, low mood, burnout, motivation, and how your health may be affecting your day-to-day life.

• Your clinician will take a thorough health history, discuss your symptoms and goals, and arrange pathology testing or further investigations where clinically appropriate. You will receive clear guidance and a personalised plan based on your results, risk factors, and what matters most to you.

This consult is ideal if you feel like something is “off,” want to optimise your health, or simply want a proper check-in before small issues become bigger ones.

Your skin is often the first place your health, hormones, lifestyle, sun exposure, and inflammation show up.

Our Medical Skin Concerns Consult is designed for patients who want answers, direction, and a personalised plan for ongoing or frustrating skin concerns.

This consultation can help assess and manage common skin issues including:

• Acne and breakouts
  For blackheads, whiteheads, inflamed pimples, cystic acne, hormonal acne, congestion, acne scarring, and post-acne marks.

• Rosacea and facial redness
  For flushing, persistent redness, sensitivity, visible blood vessels, burning, stinging, and acne-like bumps.

• Pigmentation and melasma
  For uneven skin tone, brown patches, sun spots, post-inflammatory pigmentation, and hormonally triggered pigmentation.

• Sun damage and photoaged skin
  For sun spots, rough texture, uneven tone, redness, fine lines, and concerns related to long-term sun exposure.

• Dermatitis, eczema and sensitive skin
  For itchy, dry, red, irritated, cracked, inflamed, or reactive skin.

• Seborrhoeic dermatitis and flaking
  For dandruff, scalp flaking, facial flaking, redness around the nose, eyebrows, ears, beard area, or chest.

• Psoriasis and scaly plaques
  For recurring red, thickened, scaly patches, scalp involvement, nail changes, or inflammatory skin flare-ups.

• Rashes and unexplained irritation
  For new or recurring rashes, itching, inflammation, product reactions, or skin that keeps flaring without a clear reason.

• Skin checks and spot assessments
  We can assess moles, sun spots, changing lesions, and areas of concern.

At this stage, we are able to perform skin checks and lesion assessments and biopsies, but we are not currently able to perform excisions in clinic. If a spot requires removal, or specialist review, we will guide you on the most appropriate next step or referral pathway.

Your clinician will review your skin history, symptoms, triggers, current skincare routine, past treatments, medical history, and goals. Where appropriate, your plan may include prescription treatment, skincare recommendations, sunscreen guidance, trigger management, pathology or further assessment, and follow-up care.

This consult is ideal if your skin is breaking out, flaring up, changing, reacting, or simply not responding to what you have already tried.
