What People Are Saying
The community don’t know how lucky they are to have you! I really wish we lived closer so we could attend your amazing speaker evenings.
I left the talk feeling energised and positive! It was good to feel that all of our hard work and patience was going to be rewarded and that good things are in our futures. I will keep an eye on your calendar for upcoming sessions.
Keep up the great work. Very impressive.
Sharyn Whitton
Owner / Newport Education CentreThanks for your fantastic efforts to educate our parents. It really does make a difference!
I learned so much last night and am looking forward to attending many more speaker evenings. Thank you for helping families of ADHD children, it would be so much harder without ADHD Support Australia. Very, very much appreciated.
This is an exceptionally well-run group. The speaker evenings are informative and we are always kept informed of what's on in the community.
Thanks for all the work that you do, I personally think it is amazing, and you have built up a fantastic resource for ADHD families.
Actually, YOU and the meetings have been the best support! I am indebted to you.
You’re doing an amazing job helping so many parents navigate the challenges of ADHD! Your efforts are really appreciated.

Learning Support TeacherI wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed the speaker evenings over the years and how helpful the information has been for my teaching position and personal life. I am looking forward to attending many more sessions.
The effort you put in to supporting parents and members of the community is amazing! It's so comprehensive and well-organised and I want to acknowledge that and thank you for it.
Thank you for the talk on ADHD & Anxiety tonight, I went away feeling comforted to know that there are obviously so many other parents out there battling with the same issues that we deal with on a day-to-day basis and that we're not alone.
When I didn’t know what to do next or where to go, I found you, your parenting course and speaker nights and I could relax knowing I was gaining the knowledge I needed to travel this unexpected road with my family. 100% open minded with regards to medication I have never felt any judgement only support and encouragement to keep trying. Meeting other parents who understand has been invaluable. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Vivian.
