If you think you might have ADHD, it can take months, maybe even a year to get a diagnosis. A public conversation about the condition, led by advocates, has meant more people are seeking help — but the system for getting assessed is laborious and costly. Now, Greens Senator Jordon Steele-John, a key force behind getting the disability royal commission set-up, is taking on ADHD and will use a parliamentary inquiry to advocate for an overhaul in how the condition is treated. In an article tomorrow in The Saturday Paper, he makes the case for the NDIS to be expanded to cover ADHD as a primary diagnosis — a decision that could impact half a million people. Today, Jordon Steele-John on why it’s time for Medicare and the NDIS to include ADHD.
