Anxiety Online

02 November 2009Anxiety Online is an internet-based treatment clinic for people with anxiety problems. It is a world-first initiative of the National eTherapy Centre (NeTC) at Swinburne University of Technology and funded by the Federal Department of Health and Ageing.

Anxiety Online comprises 3 main areas:

1. Information: High quality information and resources are provided to enable you to gain a comprehensive understanding of anxiety generally, and of anxiety disorders specifically.

2. Clinical assessment: Our online psychological assessment program (e-PASS) enables you to complete a comprehensive psychological assessment online. This assessment will provide you with feedback as to the type and severity of your anxiety, and appropriate recommendations for addressing any anxiety problems you may be experiencing. 

3. Treatment programs: Comprehensive and effective treatment programs are available for each of the specific anxiety disorders (Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Panic Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder).

The clinical treatment programs are available in two versions:

  • Self-help programs for individuals with mild symptoms, offered free of charge, and

  • Therapist-assisted programs for individuals with moderate to severe symptoms, offered at a low cost. Therapist assistance is in the form of weekly email communication. This form of treatment has been proven more effective than purely self-help programs.
