ADHD Support & Continued Prescribing

ADHD Continuation Prescribing Service

To ensure patient safety and compliance with state and national medicines legislation and Medicare requirements, this service is strictly limited to continuation prescribing of ADHD medication in line with a specialist treatment plan.

At Terrey Hills Family Surgery, continued ADHD prescribing is provided by Dr Sofia Ambreen, with prescribing undertaken at the clinical discretion of the GP and in accordance with current Australian clinical guidelines and specialist treatment plans.

Eligibility Criteria

Patients must meet all of the following requirements prior to consideration for continuation prescribing:

  • Confirmed specialist diagnosis: A documented diagnosis of ADHD made by a qualified Australian psychiatrist or relevant specialist.
  • Current specialist management plan: A valid, written treatment plan outlining diagnosis, medication type, dosage, and ongoing management recommendations.
  • Clinical stability: The patient must be clinically stable on their current treatment. Initiation of treatment or dose titration is not provided under this service.
  • Documentation review: All relevant specialist correspondence must be received and reviewed by the GP prior to the appointment to confirm suitability for continuation prescribing.

Service Limitations

  • No diagnostic services: This service does not include assessment or diagnosis of ADHD. Patients requiring diagnosis will be referred to a specialist for formal assessment.
  • No initiation or dose adjustment: Medication will not be initiated or adjusted under this service. Any changes to treatment must be managed by the prescribing specialist.
  • Specialist oversight requirement: Continuation prescribing is provided only where a current and appropriate specialist management plan is in place and remains clinically valid.
  • Clinical discretion: Prescribing decisions remain subject to GP clinical judgement, patient safety considerations, and ongoing review requirements under applicable prescribing regulations.

Regulatory Compliance

All prescribing is conducted in accordance with relevant Commonwealth and state legislation governing controlled medicines, Medicare requirements, and current Australian clinical guidelines.

Where appropriate, ongoing shared care with the treating psychiatrist is required to ensure coordinated and compliant prescribing practice.
