Details
- Qualifications
- Consultant psychiatrist, BBiomedSc(Hons) MBBS MPsych FRANZCP
- Reach
- Telehealth only, by secure video, in every state and territory. No in-person appointments.
- Referral
- Needed from a GP or paediatrician, by HealthLink (SAGECLIN), fax or email
- Appointments
- Your GP sends a referral; Sage reviews it and sends a quote for the pathway before the first appointment. Then one assessment appointment, and reviews only as needed.
- Shared care
- The psychiatrist diagnoses and writes the treatment plan. Your GP then prescribes and manages medication under it, with the psychiatrist available for dose changes, and a review every two or three years depending on your state. In WA the psychiatrist starts medication and hands over once the dose is stable.
What an assessment costs
- $1,195
- Adult ADHD assessment
- $1,795
- Adult combined ADHD and autism assessment
Medicare rebates under items 291 or 296 often apply to the assessment. A 25% deposit secures the appointment and the balance is due five days before it. The clinic quotes the full pathway before you book.
If medication is recommended, dose-stabilisation reviews are $255–$725 each ($145 for a 15-minute in-house GP review in WA), with Medicare rebates often applying. Once the dose is stable your GP usually takes over prescribing. A later psychiatrist review is $995 for adults and $1,095 for children, every two or three years depending on your state.
Fees are set and charged by the practice. ADHDme takes no commission.
Sage Clinic is an independent practice: it sets its own fees, availability and clinical approach, and ADHDme receives no part of what you pay. A GP referral is needed. This profile is written from Dr Ng’s own description of their work.
