Refer a Patient | Pandion Health
Specialist ADHD assessment, and shared care after diagnosis
Pandion Health is led by FRACP-qualified paediatricians and FRANZCP-qualified psychiatrists — the same clinicians your patients would see in a public or private clinic setting, now accessible via telehealth.
We assess children, teens, and adults across Australia. Appointments are typically available within 2 to 4 weeks. A comprehensive report and management plan is sent to you promptly following your patient’s assessment, and we support co-prescribing, handback and ongoing shared care in line with the regulations in your state or territory.

How shared care and co-prescribing work
We are committed to working alongside you, not around you. Assessment is the beginning of a patient’s ADHD care, not the end of it, and the arrangement that follows is decided with you rather than presented to you.
Following assessment there are three ways ongoing care can be arranged. Which one applies is decided case by case, based on clinical complexity, your comfort with ongoing management, and your patient’s preference.
Three ways ongoing care can be arranged
Handback to you
Where you are comfortable taking on ongoing management, we hand care back with a full clinical summary and support the co-prescribing arrangement in line with the regulations in your state or territory.
Shared management
You manage day-to-day prescribing and monitoring while we remain available for specialist review, dose or formulation questions, and any change in the clinical picture.
Continued specialist care
Where a presentation is complex, or where you or your patient would prefer it, Pandion continues specialist reviews for as long as they are clinically needed.
What you receive when care is handed back
A full clinical summary covering the diagnostic formulation and the treatment trialled to date
The current medication and formulation, and the reasoning behind the choice
Recommended monitoring: height, weight, blood pressure, heart rate, sleep and appetite, and the intervals at which we suggest reviewing them
Co-occurring conditions identified at assessment and what to watch for over time
The circumstances in which we would suggest re-referral for specialist review
Prescribing rules differ by state and territory
Authority requirements, co-prescribing arrangements and the conditions under which a GP can initiate or continue stimulant prescribing are set at state and territory level, and they are changing. We work within the rules that apply where you practise, and we will tell you plainly what is and is not possible in your jurisdiction.
We have written two detailed resources for referring clinicians on this: a step-by-step guide to ADHD stimulant prescribing in every state, and our view on expanding GP prescribing for ADHD.
Staying in contact after handback
Handback is not a discharge. If a question comes up about a patient we have assessed — a change in presentation, a medication issue, a monitoring result you want a second opinion on — you can reach the treating clinician through our admin team at reception@pandionhealth.com.au or (02) 9052 1888.
We will always communicate openly with you on complex or evolving presentations, and we will contact you directly rather than only through the patient where the clinical picture warrants it.
What comes back to you after the assessment
Following your patient’s assessment, you will receive a comprehensive written report and management plan. This includes:
Diagnostic formulation — confirmed diagnosis or clear explanation of why ADHD is not indicated
Medication recommendations and prescribing plan where clinically appropriate
Co-occurring condition findings and recommended next steps
Recommendations for ongoing care — including shared care arrangements or handback to you
Guidance for school, workplace, or other accommodation needs where relevant
What your patient receives
A structured two-session telehealth pathway conducted entirely online — no travel required for your patient.
How we approach an ADHD assessment
Every assessment at Pandion is conducted by a FRACP-qualified paediatrician or a FRANZCP-qualified psychiatrist. Anxiety, depression, autism, trauma history and learning difficulties are screened as standard, because the task is to distinguish ADHD from the conditions that resemble it, not to confirm a diagnosis the patient arrived with.
Assessments are structured to meet the requirements of school funding applications, workplace accommodations and ongoing specialist care.
Where ADHD is not indicated, your patient receives a clear explanation and recommended next steps, and the report to you reflects the full clinical picture rather than a negative finding alone.
