00:08Being a sole trader it's really difficult to stay on top of things.
00:12I always leave emails and people's messages like off into the abyss for months on end.
00:18She's one of an estimated 480,000 Victorians who have ADHD according to the Royal Australian College of GPs.
00:26With that number increasing, the process to get diagnosed is about to get a lot easier.
00:32This is a way to save families both time and money.
00:36150 GPs will be trained to recognise and treat the condition.
00:41That will cost taxpayers $750,000 but is expected to save families thousands in specialist bills.
00:48To talk about how we reduce that red tape and make it easier for GPs to be able to provide the critical medication.
00:56Parents of children with severe ADHD welcome the development.
01:00I cannot say how stressful it is for my son who was diagnosed at PrEP now in Year 7 and we're still going through the tears.
01:08But they say there are other challenges.
01:11Not only with the diagnosis but the medication because there are challenges with supply around that.
01:17While many welcome the change, there are concerns that ADHD is overdiagnosed and this could increase the risk of people getting misdiagnosed.
01:27There are risks associated with medication but we also believe that's not a reason to withhold services.
01:33It's been difficult but it's all part of the challenge I guess.
01:38Training for GPs will be rolled out from September.
