PTSD Coach Australia
The App is based on the latest scientific understandings of PTSD, and was modified from the U.S. Department of Veterans' Affairs PTSD Coach app.
PTSD Coach Australia has been designed for use by Australian veterans and serving Defence Force personnel.
PTSD Coach Australia contains: · Up to date information about PTSD and treatments for PTSD · A range of symptom management tools and techniques. · A PTSD assessment – allowing users to measure the severity of their symptoms over time, plot the results, and email them to a health professional. · A scheduler that allows people to manage all their health appointments and activities. · Information about where to find treatments and supports for PTSD in Australia– in the Defence health system, within the Department of Veterans’ Affairs and in the community.
Importantly: PTSD Coach Australia is not designed as a stand-alone treatment – ideally, it is a tool to use as part of your treatment. Health professionals can download clinical notes on this app from www.at-ease.dva.gov.au.

Like the VA's PTSD app, this has many helpful features & info, but it only contacts Australian services in a crisis. So don't use that feature... unless you're in Australia, of course.
I've used it when needed, however not updated in 3 years? Is it ever reviewed for relevancy or changes in best practice?
RID tool exercise in app does not load
it's great if you have ptsd because of war too bad that's not the same for all
rewarding and very helpful
PTSD is not soley a VETERAN Problem.. PLEASE make this app user friendly for ALL PTSD SUFFERERS.
Love the features. Except that it will no longer add audios or photos in the "support area." This is important and would be nice if you would please fix the problem.
Excellent app for those who suffer from PTSD and the loved one's/friends of these people battling PTSD.
Excellent app. Gives great tools to cope with symptoms manage symptoms. Information within Australia. Highly recommend
Easy to use, helpful content. Only a few bugs w setup features.
Excellent app with a lot of really useful tips and tools. Thoroughly recommend
This app is exactly what I have been looking for
Fantastic help for service personnel and their families
Great bit of kit for the top left. And aide memo
Won't open at all. Crashed every time.
Was going to use this app but accesses google photos. This app is asking for to many permission.
Thanks Aust Gov
Suggestions for overcoming sleep trouble include telling the user not to expose themselves to light while 'doing something else'. This is a phone app. Phones generate light when using apps like this. You just told me not to use this app for sleep trouble. Also 'avoid caffeine' - thanks. I don't drink caffiene. I want to be able to mark something like this as unhelpful so I don't see it again and have to keep cycling through suggestions that don't actually help here and now.
Helps the brain recondition
Extremely effective & helpful, unlike the same type of app "our" Government offers!..
Tends to stop working after about five minutes and doesn't play well with other apps like the media library. There's an awful lot of 'things' on there, and they're all dependent on one metric or another. I really just wanted a mindfulness session.
