New clinical guidelines for ADHD diagnosis and treatment published by Ministry of Health

Tairāwhiti | Lakes | Taranaki | Waikato | Clinical | 30/07/2025

The Ministry of Health has published new clinical guidelines for the assessment and treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Te Whatu Ora has confirmed that adult ADHD services will not be publicly funded and must be accessed privately.

The framework supports GPs—who complete appropriate self-directed training—to diagnose and initiate treatment for ADHD. It outlines the key knowledge and tools required for this role.

The College of GPs is developing an education package to support this training, expected to launch by Christmas 2025.

For more detailed information, you can view the full guidelines on the Ministry of Health's website.
