NSW Health update: expanded GP role in ADHD management

Written By Cristy Houghton

The expanded scope of general practitioners (GPs) in managing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has reached a key milestone with the signing of the General Authority for Continuation Prescribers (GACP).

To support the reforms, a new website has been launched: ADHD in General Practice.

The website provides:

  • Guidance for health professionals on applying for a GACP, issuing psychostimulant prescriptions, and FAQs.

  • Consumer resources explaining what the reforms mean for people with ADHD, along with FAQs.

We welcome feedback on the website’s content as part of our scheduled reviews. Please email suggestions to MOH-ADHDreforms@health.nsw.gov.au
