    IAR Decision Support Tool

    The Initial Assessment and Referral Decision Support Tool (IAR-DST) uses the stepped care approach to assist general practitioners when matching your patient’s mental health needs with the right level of service intensity, at the right time.

    Widespread uptake of the tool will promote the use of common language and standardise the initial assessment for people presenting with mental health conditions.
