OnTrac Group Programs
OnTrac is a collaborative group program helping people build confidence, independence, and useful skills for ADHD management. The program brings participants together with others their own age who are facing similar challenges.
OnTrac is broken into several groups and teaches age-appropriate strategies they can use in everyday life. This includes techniques to improve behaviour at school, home, parenting, work and psychoeducation on ADHD. It builds skills relating to organising, planning, and prioritising, managing distractibility, reducing procrastination, improving communication, and improving anger or frustration management.
Please note: you must be logged in to your ADHD WA Family Membership account to enrol in OnTrac.

Grace da Camara
Registered PsychologistGrace is a registered psychologist specialising in working with parents of children of all ages, with ADHD, as well as partners of individuals with ADHD.
Her passion for working with ADHD comes from experiencing its impact on her own family.
As a parent to a child with ADHD, she recognised the need for greater knowledge and education about the condition and the need for interventions that target not only the individual but the family as a whole.
Grace is skilled in a range of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy and Acceptance Commitment Therapy but mostly adopts an eclectic approach – understanding each client as unique with their own particular presentation and then selecting from evidence-based techniques across different approaches in order to help the client develop a better understanding of their challenges and grow in a personally meaningful way.
Grace is the author of “What Lies Beneath Matters” a series of self-help workbooks for children and adults with ADHD, as well as for parents. She also developed OnTrac, a CBT based group program for Tweens and Teens with ADHD. This program is delivered through ADHD WA in collaboration with third-year medical students from UWA who chose OnTrac as their “Services Learning project”.

These receipts can be used to claim a Medicare rebate of approximately $42 per session attended. Please note that Medicare rebates cannot be claimed for sessions which the client does not attend and it is a Medicare requirement that a minimum of 6 participants attend in order for any participants to get the rebate. We cannot guarantee the rebate due to participant non-attendance should total numbers fall below the minimum requirement of 6.

A huge reliefHaving a group of local professionals and fellow brains who ‘get you’, and get what it’s like in this particular environment, is as much of a relief as the diagnosis itself.
