Dr Anuruddha (Anu) Dissanayake
Consultant Psychiatrist
MBBS, MD(Psych), FRANZCP

Our purpose is to support the delivery of evidence-based psychiatric services through collaboration with healthcare providers and a commitment to professional, ethical, and patient-centred practice.

Dr Dissanayake has more than a decade of specialist experience in psychiatry across Australia and Sri Lanka. His professional background includes public mental health services, private practice, teaching, clinical supervision, and service development. This breadth of experience informs his approach to the assessment and management of adults with a wide range of mental health conditions.

His clinical interests include adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma-related conditions, psychotic illnesses, and other complex psychiatric presentations. Assessments and treatment recommendations are based on current clinical evidence and are tailored to each person's individual circumstances, preferences, and clinical needs.

At present, AP Psych Services provides specialist psychiatric services in collaboration with established healthcare organisations, including private psychiatric specialist practices. We value professionalism, integrity, respect, and collaboration, and recognise the importance of working closely with general practitioners, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals to support coordinated patient care.

As AP Psych Services continues to develop, our long-term vision is to expand the range of professional services we offer. This includes establishing an independent psychiatric practice, providing psychiatric assessments for WorkCover and compensation matters, undertaking medicolegal psychiatric assessments, and supporting organisations requiring independent specialist psychiatric expertise.

Our commitment is to maintain high professional standards, practise in accordance with current evidence and professional guidelines, and contribute to the delivery of safe, ethical, and person-centred psychiatric care.
