The NSW government will soon provide up to 2,500 free GP consultations for patients seeking assessment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
The program was announced as part of the state government's $11.7m package in the 2026–27 state budget, presented this week, to expand GP services.
Premier Chris Minns says the funding will expand the skills of healthcare professionals, including GPs and community pharmacists.
"For many families, when times are tough every dollar counts and health care may not be a priority. By making these free ADHD consultations available we hope this means families won't have to go without critical health care," he says.
Children and adults seeking an ADHD assessment typically require multiple long appointments, which can cost between $500 and $1,500 with large gap fees.
Free ADHD assessments in select GP clinics in NSW are expected to be available from early 2027.
