Explore ACER’s comprehensive directory of student wellbeing programs designed to assist educators in selecting the most appropriate resources for promoting social, psychological and personal health in their learning community.
Purpose
To address the need for a centralised and comprehensive national listing of quality school-based wellbeing programs in Australia, ACER is working with health and education authorities, starting with the Tasmanian Department of Health.
As Australia’s leading independent educational research organisation, ACER is ideally positioned to deliver and maintain a comprehensive national directory to the benefit of all learning communities across Australia.
Scope
Our aim is to maintain a comprehensive list of quality school wellbeing programs used in Australia. We use broad definitions for ‘program’ and ‘wellbeing’ to ensure that we‘re capturing all relevant products and services. This includes programs that address suicide prevention, drug and alcohol use disorders, and other challenges to social, psychological and physical wellbeing.
The Guide provides general information about each program, including contact details, availability by state and territory, program focus, cost (if any), evidence base and more.
