The National IAR Guidance and IAR-DST, was developed by the Australian Department of Health and is designed to provide:

• Advice relating to initial assessment and intake (the eight domains).

• A description of evidence-based services by level of intensity (the five levels of care).

• Criteria to assist with matching an individual to a level of care that is most likely to meet the treatment needs and recovery goals of the individual (the IAR-DST).

Join us for this online webinar as the training focuses on:

1. Introduction to IAR and the development of the National Guidance.

2. Orientation to the domains, levels of care, and decision support tool.

3. Clinical judgement and supported decision-making.

4. Application of the IAR in assessment and intake settings (practical activity using vignettes).

Learning outcomes:

• Participants are familiar with the principles underpinning the national approach to stepped care.

• Participants have awareness of and confidence in the IAR development process.

• Participants can apply the IAR Guidance in practice settings, using the domains and the decision support tool to generate a recommended level of care.

• Participants understand the Levels of Care and can determine regional services matched against the levels of care. 

The facilitators of the training will be Jenni Campbell and Dr Caroline Johnson.
