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).
