Adult ADHD Group Programs — Mountains of Care Consulting

Coming Soon — 2026

Adult ADHD Group Programs

Two separate programs — join one, the other, or both in sequence. Both are partly funded by Medicare under the Better Access scheme.

Group sessions attract a Medicare rebate and draw from a separate annual allocation to your individual sessions — so you can keep seeing your existing psychologist or GP alongside either program.

Which program is right for you?

Two programs. Different starting points.

Not sure which one suits you? A simple rule: if you are still figuring out whether ADHD explains your experiences, start with Program 1. If you already have a diagnosis and are ready to build practical skills, Program 2 is for you. You can also do both — in order.

Both programs begin with an individual consult

Before joining either group, you will have a one-on-one session (~50 min) with one of our registered or clinical psychologists. This lets us understand your situation, make sure the program is a good fit, and meet our Medicare obligations. It is billed separately under your individual Medicare entitlement — it does not draw from your group session allocation. If you have a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan with individual sessions remaining, this appointment has a gap fee of approximately $150.

Program 1 · 4 sessions

Understanding
Your ADHD

"I want to understand what might be going on for me and what my options are."

A structured psychoeducation group for people exploring whether ADHD may explain their experiences. You will build a clearer picture of how attention, executive function, mood, and anxiety interact — and leave with a better understanding of what your next steps might look like.

What you will cover

How ADHD presents — including in people who have gone unrecognised for years

How ADHD, anxiety, mood, and trauma can overlap and be mistaken for each other

Executive function — why attention, memory, and getting started can be so difficult

A clearer picture of your personal profile and what might help

You leave with

A written summary of your profile and recommended next steps, shared with you and your GP if you wish. This helps inform any further support, assessment, or referrals — and gives you something concrete to take forward.

Important to know

This program is not a diagnostic assessment and does not result in a formal ADHD diagnosis. The written summary describes your profile and functional patterns — it is not a diagnostic report. If a formal diagnosis is needed, your psychologist will discuss what that pathway looks like for you.

This program suits you if...

You are exploring whether ADHD may explain your experiences, have recently received a diagnosis and want context, or are not yet sure whether the skills program is the right next step.

Costs and Medicare

Intake session (one-off, 50 min)$151.05 gap

Each group session$70.00 gap

Total out-of-pocket $431.05

Medicare rebates apply. Requires a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan. Group sessions use a separate Medicare allocation to your individual sessions — your existing psychology rebates are unaffected.

Program 2 · 6 sessions

Managing
Your ADHD

"I know I have ADHD. I want practical tools that actually work for my brain."

A skills-based group program grounded in cognitive-behavioural therapy for ADHD. Every session builds a practical skill you can use immediately — tested in-session and then trialled in your own life before the next week.

What you will cover

Time management, task initiation, and dealing with time blindness

Building systems and environments that work with your brain

Emotional regulation strategies specific to ADHD

Medication awareness — monitoring, prescriber communication

Peer learning and building strategies that sustain over time

You leave with

A personalised ADHD management plan built and tested across the program — strategies you have already trialled and adapted to your own life. Your psychologist will also provide a written summary of your plan and progress, which can be shared with your GP to support ongoing care.

Important to know

This program assumes a confirmed ADHD diagnosis or a clear clinical indication from Program 1. It is not a diagnostic assessment. The written summary describes your management plan and functional progress — it is not a diagnostic report.

This program suits you if...

You have a confirmed ADHD diagnosis (or have completed Program 1), are ready to focus on practical skills, and can commit to attending weekly and trialling strategies between sessions.

Already have a diagnosis? You may be able to join directly.

If you have an existing ADHD diagnosis, you may not need to complete Program 1 first. An individual intake session is still required before joining — this lets us make sure Program 2 is the right fit for you and meet our Medicare obligations. If you have a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan with individual sessions remaining, this session has a gap fee of approximately $150.

Total Medicare Rebate

Intake session (only one needed)

Total includes one intake session ($151.05 gap), Program 1 group sessions ($280 gap), and Program 2 group sessions ($420 gap).

Understanding Medicare

Accessible, affordable, evidence-based care

Both programs attract Medicare rebates under the Better Access scheme, making structured ADHD support significantly more affordable than equivalent individual therapy. A full program costs considerably less than seeing a psychologist one-on-one for the same number of sessions.

Your individual sessions are not affected

Under Medicare Better Access, group therapy sessions draw from a completely separate annual allocation to your individual sessions. Joining either program does not reduce your individual psychology rebates. You can continue seeing your own psychologist, GP, or psychiatrist alongside the program without any change to your existing entitlements.

What you need to get started

A GP Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) referral — ask your GP at any appointment

An individual intake session with one of our psychologists before the group begins — required for both programs

Your Medicare card — rebates are processed automatically at each session
