You can check out all our current speakers here.
Parents/carers of children or teenagers with ADHD, teenagers or adults with ADHD, teachers, those who works in the ADHD field or with with a general interest in a particular speaker are all welcome.
A lack of local ADHD support saw parents travelling from as far away as Wollongong, Western Sydney, the Blue Mountains and the Central Coast to attend our in-person speaker events, but following covid restrictions in 2020 the talks are now online!
To support those of you who simply can’t attend the online talk live, I’ve created a membership site on Patreon where members can watch recordings of past expert speaker talks and view the slides from their presentations as well as having the option of attending the live talk.
Also on offer is:
6-week Online Parenting Children with ADHD Course
14-week Online PEERS Social Skills for Teens & Young Adults Program

Why we're different
ADHD Support Australia is open-minded, non-judgmental and forward thinking – whatever path you choose to navigate, we’re here to support you.
We believe in providing information on all approaches and allowing individuals to make up their own minds accordingly.
We believe with strong, healthy foundations in place, any strategies for managing ADHD will be much more successful.
Optimising brain function by enhancing overall well-being and exploring any factors that could be causing challenging behaviours, mood problems, focus & attention just makes sense.
An ADHD diagnosis comes with so many variables meaning it can be difficult to know how to navigate to the root of your problems.
We’re here to help guide you through that maze.
Who are we?
ADHD Support Australia is a social enterprise created by ADHD parent and woman with ADHD – Vivian Dunstan.
