The Engagement and Wellbeing Directorate of the Department for Education South Australia, has established a preferred ‘open’ multi-use list of providers of external mental health and wellbeing programs, called the External Wellbeing Programs Directory.

The scope of the programs is Tier 1 (to all students) and Tier 2 (to a targeted group based on need). It does not include one-off guest speakers, wellbeing apps or therapeutic interventions for an individual child (Tier 3 interventions).

The purpose of this Registration of Interest (ROI) is to add to the multi-use list of external providers of mental health and wellbeing programs to enable South Australian primary and secondary schools to choose evidence-informed programs relevant to their needs. This directory is only for South Australian government schools.

Approved programs will be included on an internal departmental directory that South Australian government schools can access when seeking a program from an external provider to meet the needs of their students. Inclusion on the directory does not guarantee the program will be selected for use as this decision will be made by each school.

An optional industry briefing session will take place on Wednesday 09 July 2025. For more details please see Registration of Interest - External Wellbeing Programs Directory - Part A and B.

Please Note:

• Programs already on the established directory are not required to reapply through this ROI process.
• The External Wellbeing Programs Directory has been extended until 31 December 2028.
• A separate Response Form is required each Program being submitted.
