How to use the digital service finder

Use the digital service finder to search and compile relevant services to share with your patient.

 

Refine your search with filters

Apply search filters like ‘Age’ or ‘Level of distress’ to refine your results to services that match your selections. Select ‘All filters’ to see more filter options.

Reviewing your search results

The search results are categorised by delivery method, giving options for things to do, listen to, read or watch. Services are further ordered by how well they match your search term and filters. 

Some services are also listed as ‘suitable for everyone’ for certain filter options. These services will appear in an additional section at the bottom of your results if they don’t match your specific filter criteria. 

Levels of care (IAR)

‘Levels of care’ refers to the level of resource intensity of treatment options, ranging from self-management to specialist and acute services. You can use the Initial Assessment and Referral Decision Support Tool to determine the level of care appropriate for your patient, and filter for services at that level.
