ADHD Petition
We have had some great wins for the neurodivergent community in Australia with Ritalin Long Acting being recommended for the PBS for those who have received a diagnosis of ADHD over the age of 18!
Thankyou to ADHD Australia who supported the change.org petition and to everyone who signed and share it! We got to 8000 signatures and wont stop until we get the other options onto the PBS so that people with an adult diagnosis of ADHD get equitable and affordable access to treatment.
