Can I receive an autism assessment online in Australia?

Can a psychiatrist prescribe medication related to Autism?
Autism itself isn’t treated with medication, but where appropriate, your psychiatrist can prescribe medication for co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or ADHD.
Is telehealth suitable if I live in regional Australia?
Yes. Telehealth makes specialist autism assessment accessible regardless of location, including regional and remote areas.
How long does an Autism assessment usually take?
Assessment length varies by individual and age; your psychiatrist will outline an appropriate timeline during your first consultation.
