What is gone
Three things you will not need.
- Billing
- Private fees
- Intake
- Done before the patient reaches you: eligibility, exclusions, identity, referral, questionnaire, rating scales
- Reports
- Drafted from your interview, with the plan to the referring GP, and returned for your sign-off
What stands behind you
Supported practice, not a shortcut service.
- Protocol
- Written. Australian Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guideline for ADHD, RANZCP PS#115 and the Queensland framework. Signed off by the clinic's psychiatrists
- QScript
- Every consultation, by you. The clinic system prompts it
- Patients
- Adults 18 and over, screened against the protocol exclusions before they can book
- Continuity
- Same psychiatrist for both appointments and for reviews. You are the treating doctor throughout
The work
Two appointments per patient, on a structured system.
- Assessment
- 60 minutes by video. Clinical interview. Rating scales, referral and history already in front of you
- Treatment plan
- 30 minutes by video, once the report and any checks are in. Diagnosis, options, treatment, monitoring plan
- Continuing care
- 50 minutes by video. Patients with an existing diagnosis on a psychiatrist or paediatrician letter
- Reviews
- After the first month, then at framework intervals, in your hours
- Tools
- Practice management, telehealth and clinical systems, provided and set up before your first session
What psychiatrists ask
Five questions, five straight answers.
Will I be pressured to diagnose?
No. You are paid the same whether the answer is yes or no. The site tells patients booking does not guarantee a diagnosis or any particular treatment, and the fee does not depend on the outcome
Is this a shortcut service?
No. Two video appointments, 90 minutes per patient. QScript every consult. No repeat without review. A report and a plan to the GP
What if a session is not full?
Once confirmed, you are paid for it. $2,730, regardless
Interstate patients?
Queensland at launch, under the Queensland framework. Other states as their rules allow
What is deducted?
Nothing. No service fee, no software fee, no admin fee
