About us

Akkadian Health was founded in 2020 by a group of like-minded psychiatrists, technologists and business leaders with a shared mission to make a lasting impact on mental health care across Australia. Since then, we’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of individuals, providing a wide range of services, from general psychiatry and adult ADHD assessments to ADHD coaching and psychology.


Our mission is simple — improve mental health outcomes for everyday Australians.

We are committed to delivering compassionate, high-quality care through innovative telehealth services, making mental health support accessible for everyone, no matter where they are.
