Initial Assessment and Referral (IAR) for Mental Healthcare Training
Overview
We are delivering workshops about the Initial Assessment and Referral-Decision Support Tool (IAR-DST) – A mental health initiative developed by the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing. The training is focussed on using the online Decision Support Tool (DST), a standardised and evidence-based mental health support tool designed to guide clinical judgement for mental healthcare.
