Have your say on digital mental health tools
Do you use digital tools in your practice to screen, diagnose, monitor, or treat patients with mental health conditions?
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) wants to hear from GPs as part of its review to ensure the regulatory framework for these tools is fit for purpose and to better understand what tools are available in the Australian market.
The survey is open until Monday, 1 December 2025 and can be accessed on the TGA website.
Responses to PSR webinar questions
In July the RACGP hosted a webinar presented by PSR Director, Associate Professor Antonio Di Dio.
In response to the many questions the college received following the webinar, written responses to the questions which were unanswered in consultation have now been published, alongside a Q&A, on the RACGP website.
