ADDults with ADHD (NSW) Inc. is a non-funded voluntary organisation established in 1995 to address the needs of adults and families with ADHD and other related conditions, and is the only organization ‘specifically’ supporting adults with ADHD in Australia.
The management committee largely consists of practicing psychologists and individuals with a thorough working knowledge of ADHD and its impact on the individual, the family, and the community as a whole.
A registered Charity, the organisation has the support of a professional advisory body from a variety of disciplines such as medicine, psychiatry, psychology and education, as well as knowledgeable and experienced parents and adults with ADHD.
ADDults with ADHD not only supports adults, their partners and families, but are also committed to creating opportunities for education and awareness for the media, government and health professionals that is considered best practice and based on clinical research. ADDults is committed to reducing the stigma associated with ADHD and dispel the myths and media hype that has been so prominent over the years.
