Free & Confidential
Mental Health Self-Assessment Tools
These free, confidential screening tools can help you understand whether you might benefit from speaking with a psychiatrist. They use validated, published clinical instruments — but they are not a diagnosis.
Important: these are screening tools, not diagnostic tests.
A screening tool can indicate whether symptoms might be present, but it cannot replace a clinical assessment. A formal diagnosis can only be made by a qualified health professional, such as a psychiatrist, after a comprehensive evaluation. If you're in crisis or need urgent support, please contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or call 000 in an emergency.
