The Department of Education released program documentation for My Mind Check, a free voluntary mental health screening tool for Australian schools developed by Macquarie University and Stancy Australia with government funding. The program targets the identified need that 14% of Australian youth experience mental health issues, with 50% of cases emerging before age 14. My Mind Check operates through three phases: planning (tailored school implementation with principal and staff guides), check-in (supervised 10-15 minute sessions during school hours), and respond (staff review outcomes via portal to identify mental health risks and protective factors, with access to resource hubs and communication templates). The disclosure includes implementation guides for school administrators, session supervisors, and caregivers, plus follow-up resources and action plan templates designed to support schools in fostering positive mental health environments.
