Summary

Introduction

An Australian version of IAPT (Clark, 2011) was piloted in three sites over a 3-year period from 2013 with NewAccess This brand of IAPT was developed by the charitable organisation Beyond Blue as a low-intensity service. The challenges and success of using an NHS-based model in the semi-private Australian healthcare system has been previously reported (Cromarty et al, 2016) These include remote delivery of training and supervision, training of non-graduates and high clinical recovery rates of almost 70%. Step was designed to run alongside the existing lowintensity CBT service in Canberra, which was an original Beyond Blue pilot site Training of these Australian low and high-intensity services adheres closely to the UK IAPT Curricula, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines (NICE, 2011) and stepped care mental health principles (Bower and Gilbody, 2005).
