If you have a question that is not answered here, please use the Contact page to get in touch with the clinic directly.
About the service
No. Clear Focus ADHD Clinic is a face-to-face service only. Assessment sessions are conducted in person at Health Hub Morayfield. Parts of the assessment may include a physical examination or investigations (such as blood tests or an ECG) where clinically indicated, which requires an in-person appointment.
Referrals and booking
No. Self-referrals are welcome. You can book directly through HotDoc without a referral from a GP or other health professional. However, a medical summary or referral letter from your regular GP, if available, is useful to bring to your first appointment and can help Dr. Jeremy build a more complete clinical picture.
Yes. Referrals from GPs, allied health professionals, or any member of your established care team are welcome. Please bring any referral letters and relevant reports to your first appointment.
Appointments are booked online through HotDoc. Search for ‘Dr Jeremy So’ at Health Hub Morayfield. If you are unable to book online or have a specific inquiry before booking, please use the Contact page.
The assessment process
The assessment process is typically completed over two appointments, each 30 minutes, scheduled a few weeks apart. Some individuals may require additional appointments if the clinical picture is complex or if further information is needed
Session 1 focuses on gathering a thorough clinical picture. Dr. Jeremy will discuss your current symptoms, medical and mental health history, current medications, and life circumstances. You will complete standardised ADHD rating scales and questionnaires, and a physical examination may be conducted where clinically indicated.
Session 2 is where Dr. Jeremy reviews the findings from Session 1, discusses whether an ADHD diagnosis is clinically supported, and works with you to develop a personalised care plan. Management options — which may include lifestyle strategies, psychological support, and medication where appropriate — will be discussed based on your individual circumstances.
If available, please bring:
- A medical summary or referral letter from your regular GP
- Any previous assessment reports, diagnosis letters, or mental health history documents (from a psychologist, psychiatrist, paediatrician, or other treating clinician)
- A list of your current medications (name, dose, and prescribing doctor)
- Your Medicare card
You may also be asked to complete some questionnaires before your appointment — check your booking confirmation for any pre-appointment tasks.
The assessment uses validated, standardised ADHD rating scales and questionnaires consistent with Australian ADHD clinical practice guidelines (AADPA, 2022). The specific tools used may vary depending on your individual circumstances and clinical presentation.
Yes. You are welcome to bring a trusted support person to your appointment if this would be helpful for you. In some cases, collateral information from a person who knows you well can also be a useful part of the assessment — please discuss this with Dr. Jeremy at your first appointment.
Diagnosis and outcomes
No. An ADHD diagnosis is not guaranteed or predetermined. The assessment is a thorough clinical process, and the diagnostic discussion at Session 2 is based on the evidence gathered. Not everyone who presents for ADHD assessment will meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD. Dr. Jeremy will explain the findings and discuss all relevant options regardless of the outcome.
If the assessment findings do not support an ADHD diagnosis, Dr. Jeremy will discuss the clinical picture with you — including any other factors or conditions that may be contributing to your difficulties — and explore what support options may be relevant for your circumstances.
Yes. If you have an existing ADHD diagnosis from a psychiatrist, psychologist, or paediatrician and are seeking ongoing GP-led management, the clinic can support you. Dr. Jeremy will request a copy of your diagnosing specialist’s letter and relevant clinical details before commencing management.
Medication
No. Medication is not the expected or automatic outcome of assessment. Whether medication is discussed as part of your care plan depends on the clinical findings, your individual circumstances, your preferences, and whether it is clinically appropriate based on a risk-benefit assessment. Some people manage ADHD effectively with non-medication strategies, including behavioural approaches, lifestyle adjustments, and psychological support.
Where clinically appropriate, and in line with Queensland prescribing requirements, Dr. Jeremy can initiate and manage ADHD medication. This is not available to all patients and is determined by individual clinical assessment. Medication options will be discussed with you — including their potential benefits, limitations, and any relevant monitoring requirements — before any decision is made.
Please bring details of your current ADHD medication (name, dose, and prescribing practitioner) to your first appointment. Medication continuity and ongoing management can be discussed based on your existing clinical history and documentation.
