What does this program cover?

Our parent and carer program aims to equip you with the core knowledge you need to ensure the wellbeing of your child with ADHD, now and long into the future.

Part A, focussing on understanding your child’s ADHD, covers: 
  • The facts around ADHD
  • The cognitive functions impacted by ADHD
  • The types of  challenges that can be explained by the cognitive impacts of ADHD 
  • The opportunities for success that can be afforded by the cognitive impacts of ADHD
  • The coping behaviours children with ADHD commonly use
  • The family dynamics that can develop around a child with ADHD
  • Applying your knowledge of ADHD so as to understand your child's behaviour in any given moment

Part B, focussing on skills for supporting and coaching your child with ADHD, covers:
  • A framework for developing and applying strategies that will compensate for the detrimental cognitive impacts of ADHD that your child experiences
  • An approach that will assist your child to make the most of the opportunities that the cognitive impacts of ADHD can provide, and enable them to reach their full potential
  • A framework that will give you confidence in responding to your child's behaviour,  improve your relationship with your child, and protect your's and your child's self-esteem and wellbeing
  • Coaching your child to take increasing responsibility for managing their ADHD as they grow older

How does this program work?

The program includes two workshop sessions of three hours each (including a short break in the middle).  These sessions typically take place in  Bellerive, or at an alternative venue in the Hobart area, Tasmania.  We occasionally offer the sessions via video conference, or in person in other regions around Tasmania, when there is sufficient demand. 


There are supporting materials to be accessed online and completed prior to both sessions.

The part A online materials include approximately 90 minutes of videos detailing the most important concepts for understanding your child's ADHD.  These need to be viewed before the first group session.

The Part B online materials include approximately 105 minutes of videos detailing the concepts necessary for developing effective skills in supporting and coaching your child. These videos need to be viewed before the second group session. 

For both parts, the videos are broken down into small segments, and are each followed by tasks designed to assist you in applying the concepts to your family’s situation.  There are also files that you can download and print to assist with getting the most out of the program.

Who is the program for?

This program is designed for parents and carers of children (aged 5 to 18yo) with formally diagnosed ADHD.

We strongly recommend that all adults living in the family home complete the online component of the program together, and that all adults attend the group sessions. It may also be useful for older adolescent siblings, or other adults who regularly spend time with your child with ADHD (e.g. grandparents) to participate in the online component of the program with you aswell. 

Please note that the content from the parent/carer program is not appropriate for viewing by your child with ADHD, nor for younger siblings or older siblings who are not aged 15 and over.

What is the program cost?

The cost of the program is $450 (AUD).  This covers one entry to each of the group sessions, plus access to the online materials for all parents and carers in your household for a period of six months.

The fee for an additional parent/carer from your home to attend the two group sessions is $100.  This is payable at a later stage when selecting your group sessions.

What happens once I've arranged to pay the program fee?

If paying via the course website, you will be immediately prompted to provide your name and to type in the password that you wish to use for logging in to the course materials from there.   You will then be taken to the course page and have access to the online content.

If paying at our reception desk, you will be emailed a link.  From this link you will be prompted to provide your name and to type in the password that you wish to use for logging in to the course materials from there.   You will then be taken to the course page and have access to the online content.

Once you have paid for the course (regardless of the payment method used) you will be able to book into the group sessions by contacting our reception on (03) 6240 5409 or via email - admin@hobartadhd.com.au. 



Are rebates available for this program? Or can I use NDIS funding?

Private health rebates may be accessible if your policy covers attendance in group therapy sessions.  We can provide an invoice with the correct item codes* at your request.
 
 *Item codes ‘400’ or F57’ are the most commonly used by private health insurers for group therapy sessions, and the per session fee you would be claiming on would be $225.

NDIS funding can be used  if your child's plan is self-managed, or if you obtain approval from your child's plan manager.

When and where are the workshop sessions?

When selecting from the available workshop sessions you will be booking your place(s) in both the Part A and Part B sessions, which are scheduled to take place a few weeks apart.


The next set of workshop sessions with availability are:

Fridays, 5th of September (part A) and 19th of September (part B), 10am to 1pm, at the Bellerive Yacht Club (with morning tea provided)


Further group sessions for 2025 will also be on Fridays, from 10am to 1pm. If you are not available for the above sessions please enquire via our reception team (phone 03 6240 5409 or email admin@hobartadhd.com.au)

We ask participants in all sessions to protect the confidentiality of the other participants, and refrain from passing on information about any participants or their contributions to any discussions.



What if I change my mind or am unable to attend any of the workshop sessions?

Unfortunately we are unable to offer any refunds on the initial program fee once you have completed a sign in process that grants you access to the online materials. 

Should you find that you are unable to attend one or both of the booked workshop sessions, we ask that you advise us as soon as possible. Due to event-related costs, rescheduling requests received within 7 days of the relevant session are subject to a $50 fee.

You are welcome to change the session dates you have selected before your Part A session takes place.  There is no cost associated with this provided that you have advised us with at least 7 days notice ahead of the Part A session.
