Private clinics – led by experienced clinicians, ensuring leading standards of care.

A diagnosis can help with understanding. Support still needs to fit the person.

Depending on what’s needed, support might include strategies for study, work, routines and executive functioning, support for emotional wellbeing, collaborative support for routines, regulation and participation, or parent and family support.

Not everyone with ADHD needs allied health support, and there isn’t one standard combination of services that suits everyone. At MTHC, we shape support around your strengths, priorities and functional needs.

MTHC is a subsidiary of the University of Melbourne, offering a range of services to support people across different needs and stages of life.

Not sure why your eyes feel dry? That’s what an MTHC Eyecare assessment is for.

Dry eye has different causes, so managing it isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution.

Dry eye is a condition caused when the eye’s natural lubrication stops working as it should. It can be triggered by:

- extended screen use
- contact lenses
- your environment
- certain health conditions or medications.

That’s why the best management plan for you starts with knowing what’s causing your symptoms.

Dry eye is common and very manageable. For some people, small lifestyle changes make a difference. For others prescription drops, eyelid care or advanced in-clinic treatment may be appropriate.

A dry eye assessment at MTHC Eyecare can help identify what’s causing your symptoms and recommend a management plan that suits you.

Understand what's causing your dry eye and find the right treatment.

At MTHC, psychology assessment can explore ADHD alongside other neurodevelopmental, learning and mental health presentations.

That can include developmental and health history, what’s happening across different settings and, with consent, information from parents, teachers, partners or other people who know the person well.

An assessment doesn’t always lead to a formal diagnosis. It can still help someone better understand their strengths, the areas taking more effort and what kinds of support may be useful.

MTHC is a subsidiary of the University of Melbourne, offering a range of services to support people across different needs and stages of life.

Long stretches of screen use can leave your eyes feeling gritty and sore.

Other environmental or lifestyle factors such as heating, air conditioning and windy weather can also trigger irritation.

Dry eye is a condition caused when your eye’s natural lubrication stops working as it should. It can feel like:

- grittiness or burning eyes, especially later in the day
- eyes that water even though they feel dry
- stringy mucus in or around the eyes
- vision that comes and goes, especially when reading or using screens
- red or irritated eyes that don’t seem to settle
- contact lenses starting to feel uncomfortable.

If any of this sounds familiar, it's worth finding out what's going on. Managing dry eye can range from everyday lifestyle changes to advanced in-clinic treatment where appropriate.

A dry eye assessment at MTHC Eyecare can help identify what’s causing your symptoms and recommend a management plan that suits you.

October is ADHD Awareness Month.

For an adult, ADHD might look like putting in a lot of effort but not always seeing it in the results, relying heavily on lists and reminders, or finding that organisation, planning or getting started takes significant effort.

For a child, it might look like difficulty moving between tasks, getting distracted during everyday routines, or needing more support to get ready for school.

These aren’t the only ways ADHD can show up, and these experiences aren’t specific to ADHD. But if they sound familiar, it can be worth exploring why. Our new article looks at what ADHD can look like, what assessment involves and how connected support can work at MTHC.

Success with reading, writing or following instructions isn't always a matter of trying harder.

Some kids find it hard to keep up with what's happening in the classroom, even when they're trying their best.

Speech pathology looks at oral language and literacy skills, including reading and writing. It supports understanding instructions, building vocabulary and putting thoughts into words.

Support at the right time can make school feel more manageable, for the child and the whole family.

That’s also the thinking behind our Steps to Prep program, which supports children to build communication and school-readiness skills.

This Speech Pathology Week, we're celebrating the ways communication creates possibility to learn.

Feeling safe to be yourself shouldn’t depend on where you are.

For LGBTQIA+SB young people, feeling safe, seen and supported can look different depending on where they are. At school, at home, online or in a waiting room.

Across MTHC, our clinicians, educators, students and researchers work alongside people from all walks of life. Creating spaces where everyone feels included and respected is part of how we care for our patients, and for each other.

This Wear It Purple Day, we're recognising the courage it takes to show up as yourself and the small, everyday actions that help make that easier for someone else.

Every action helps build a safer, more supportive world today and every day.
