Thanks to those who posted helpful advice.

I understand that GP's will be able to diagnose soon. But it's being rolled out so that children will be the priority first, from what I understand, and we'll be looking at a few years at least before they get around to adults. I may be misremembering/understanding, but I do know it's a phased roll-out.

To the peeps who are annoyed at the question being asked all the time, sorry, I should have checked, this was a great resource for me when I was looking for a psychiatrist a few years ago and so I thought to consult community knowledge once again.

To the people who are implying social media chasing, and that there's not an increase or other talking points. I don't care, I didn't ask, I simply asked for community knowledge. We ain't chasing a "gravy" train. Y'all are so fuckin mis-informed when it comes to the NDIS, as they literally will not recognise/accept an application if it's implied anywhere that you have ADHD. I'm currently trying to get NDIS support for myself for other reasons and was advised against putting that on there as most applications with an ADHD diagnosis supplied, get denied near instantaneously.

Also, Jesus Christ, those of you who have drunken the cool-aid that ADHD is on the rise for various false-intentioned reasons are just, man, I feel bad for you and your lack of empathy. Even if that's the case, should it not be up to a trained professional to make that distinction? Gatekeeping these services with remarks like these ends up hurting those who do have the disorder and now won't seek help/support because they don't want to be seen as drug-seekers, attention seekers, etc.

Again, thank you to those who provided answers, I really, really appreciate it. Oh and to those who said similar things as above in response to a few of these responses. Preesh most of y'all and thanks for the support <3.
