Consumer/carer versions of the Guidelines
Companion guides for patients and carers aim to facilitate shared and informed decision-making.
They are increasingly being trialed to provide better information about appropriate and inappropriate treatment options.
The guides have been developed using extensive input from consumer writers, researchers and reviewers.

Clinician Versions of the Guidelines
The CPGs:
- Systematically evaluate research evidence;
- Were developed by representatives from a range of professional groups, as well as consumers;
- Are specifically designed to assist, rather than dictate, clinical decision-making; and
- Are to be applied on a case-by-case basis.
The Guidelines are current at the time of publication but, because they are evidence-based, they will inevitably become out of date as new research emerges regarding established and novel treatments.
Therefore a crucial aspect of implementing the Guidelines will be ensuring that they are reviewed on a regular basis.
Clinician Guidelines are systematically developed statements to assist practitioners in making decisions about appropriate health care for specific clinical circumstances.
Their main purpose is to improve health outcomes for patients by improving the practice of clinicians and their benefits include providing:
- Recommendations for appropriate care based on scientific evidence and consensus, while leaving room for justifiable variations in practice and clinical judgment in individual circumstances;
- Useful summaries of the scientific literature on treatment benefits and harms;
- Support for professional standards, quality improvement activities and education; and
- A basis for comparing current practice to evidence based ‘best practice’.
The following Clinician Versions of the Guidelines were published in Australasian Psychiatry in 2003:
Multicultural Mental Health Australia A new series of seven Capacity Building Fact Sheets have been translated into 16 languages.
