Updated 2026
NZ GPs Can Now Diagnose and Prescribe for ADHD
From February 2026, vocationally registered GPs and nurse practitioners in Aotearoa can diagnose ADHD and prescribe stimulant medication without specialist referral.
Before February 2026
- Specialist psychiatrist required for diagnosis
- Specialist-only prescribing for stimulant medication
- Wait times often 12+ months for specialist appointment
From February 2026
- Vocationally registered GPs can diagnose ADHD in adults
- GPs can prescribe methylphenidate, dexamfetamine, and lisdexamfetamine
- PHARMAC Special Authority approval required
Note: PHARMAC advises considering lisdexamfetamine or dexamfetamine for newly diagnosed adults due to ongoing methylphenidate supply constraints through 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is ClientForms HIPC compliant?
ClientForms is built to comply with the Health Information Privacy Code 2020 (HIPC) and the NZ Privacy Act 2020. All clinical data is hosted in Sydney, Australia with AES-256 encryption, meeting NZ cross-border requirements under IPP 12.
Does ClientForms work with Cliniko?
Yes. ClientForms is a Cliniko Connected App. Assessment results are automatically written into Cliniko treatment notes with the full PDF report attached. Your patient list syncs from Cliniko, and the integration is included on every plan.
Can NZ GPs use ClientForms for ADHD assessment?
Yes. Since February 2026, vocationally registered GPs in New Zealand can diagnose ADHD and prescribe stimulant medication. ClientForms provides DSM-5 aligned assessment tools with instant scoring to support GP-led ADHD diagnosis.
What assessments are available for NZ practitioners?
Over 200 validated instruments covering ADHD (DSM-5 diagnostic interview, ASRS), depression (DASS-21, PHQ-9), anxiety (GAD-7), autism (AQ-10), outcome monitoring (CORE-10, K10), and more. All with instant scoring and clinical severity bands.
Is HIPAA the same as HIPC?
No. HIPAA is the US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. HIPC is the NZ Health Information Privacy Code 2020, operating under the NZ Privacy Act 2020. They serve similar purposes but are separate legal frameworks. ClientForms complies with both.

We acknowledge that taha tinana (physical) and taha wairua (spiritual) are not yet covered by our instrument library.
