This session’s practical activity component focuses on the application of the IAR-DST with Children.
The IAR Guidance (IAR) and Decision Support Tool (IAR-DST) is designed to establish a national, standardised approach to conducting initial mental health assessments, and support general practitioners and other clinicians to recommend the most appropriate level of care for a person seeking mental health support.
The IAR and the IAR-DST are an Australian Government Department of Health, Disability & Ageing initiative bringing together information from various sources, including Australian and international evidence and advice from various leading experts. The IAR-DST is not an assessment tool.
