Quality assured, evidence-based student wellbeing programs add value to the curriculum, support school improvement measures and contribute to improved student wellbeing, learning and life outcomes. Programs included in the Student Wellbeing external programs catalogue have been quality assured under key student wellbeing themes.

Use this guide and checklist where the catalogue doesn't currently have a program that meets your school's needs. If all items of the checklist have been considered, the principal will have sound evidence to decide whether to go ahead with the delivery of the external wellbeing program.

This decision tool should be attached to the risk management proforma if required and stored as part of the school’s documentation for implementing the program. The engagement of a provider must be done in accordance with the department’s procurement policies and guidelines.
