Evidence-based Clinical Practice Guideline for Anxiety in Children and Young People
Anxiety is one of the most common mental health problems in children and young people in Australia. Despite this, there have been gaps in consistent clinical guidance for the management of anxiety in children.
With the help of experts from across the Melbourne Children's Campus, we have published a nation-first Evidence-based Clinical Practice Guideline for Anxiety in Children and Young People in 2023.
The guideline has now been endorsed by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP).
You can read the evidence-based guideline here.
