MindSpot Clinic

[1] It provides screening assessments and internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (ICBT) courses for Australians troubled by stress, worry, anxiety and depression.

The MindSpot Clinic project was developed by a team of mental health professionals, led by researchers from Macquarie University, in partnership with the Australian Federal Government.

Assessment outcomes are measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7)  and Kessler 10 Psychological Distress scale (K-10).

[4] People who complete the assessment are invited to discuss their results and provide additional details to a therapist by telephone in order to tailor treatment advice.

[7] The ICBT treatment courses used at MindSpot were developed and validated in a series of randomised controlled trials at the Macquarie University online research clinic, the eCentreClinic.
