Where I am the public system has completely opted out of this care, the PHN programs refuse to fund it, and the private system is booked out for many months, and totally unaffordable for most

Called six private paediatric practices in Melbourne today. Could not get an appointment for a young person with ADHD and other serious issues, needing paediatric review. Everyone's books are closed for "behavioural paediatrics".
We need a better system NOW.

I've got patients now self medicating with illicitly sourced meds - increasing the risks.
