Big changes are happening in ADHD care across Queensland. Under new reforms, specialist GPs can now help diagnose and treat ADHD in adults — making care more accessible, affordable and closer to home for many patients.

What this could mean for patients:
• Shorter wait times for assessment and support
• Reduced costs compared to specialist-only pathways
• Better access to care in regional and rural areas
• Ongoing support from your regular GP

Previously, many Australians faced long waitlists and high out-of-pocket costs to access ADHD diagnosis and treatment. These reforms aim to improve continuity of care and make support easier to access.

While not every GP will offer ADHD assessment or treatment straight away, many are undertaking additional training and expanding services to better support patients.

Early support and appropriate treatment can make a significant difference in daily life, education, work and wellbeing.

Is It a Cold or the Flu? Know the Difference

Cold and flu symptoms can feel very similar — but knowing the difference can help you manage your symptoms and know when to seek care.

What’s the difference?
Colds are caused by many different viruses and are usually mild, while the flu (influenza) can be more severe and may lead to complications.

- Key symptom differences -
Common cold:
• Sneezing and runny/stuffy nose
• Sore throat
• Mild fatigue
• Fever is rare

Flu:
• Fever is common
• Body aches and headaches
• Extreme tiredness
• Dry cough
• Can come on suddenly and feel more severe

Helpful tips:
• Rest and stay hydrated
• Use simple medications for symptom relief
• Practice good hygiene to prevent spreading illness
• Get your **annual flu vaccine** for protection

The flu can be serious, especially for young children, older adults, and people with health conditions — so seek medical advice if symptoms are severe or worsening.

Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to protect your child from serious diseases — and it all starts with understanding howVaccination is one of the most effective ways to protect your child from serious diseases — and it all starts with understanding how vaccines work.

How do vaccines work?
Vaccines contain a small, safe amount of a virus or bacteria (or part of it). This helps your child’s immune system learn how to recognise and fight the infection — without them getting sick.

Once vaccinated, the body creates antibodies and immune memory, so if your child is exposed to the disease later, their immune system can respond quickly and effectively.

What to expect:
• It can take 1–3 weeks for protection to build after vaccination
• Some vaccines require multiple doses or boosters for long-lasting protection
• Vaccination helps not only your child, but also protects the wider community (herd immunity)

Key takeaway:
Vaccination is the process of receiving the vaccine, while immunisation is the protection your body builds afterwards — both working together to keep children safe and healthy.

Keeping up with your child’s routine immunisations is a simple and powerful step to protect their future health.
