As noted in this flyer, “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 and 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.”

As noted on the Go Share Plus – Healthily website, GoShare Plus “is a ‘next generation’ SMS recall and reminder tool that brings together CAT4’s health analytics capability with GoShare’s extensive content library”. “It enables Practice staff to send engaging health resources to patient lists based on search/filter or reporting criteria”, with no cost to the practice.
