    Common Questions About the Burnout & Fatigue Assessment

    What is this burnout assessment based on?
    This tool draws on the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory framework developed by Tage Kristensen and colleagues, which separately assesses personal, work-related, and client-related burnout — recognising that burnout isn't only caused by work.
    Is burnout a medical diagnosis?
    The World Health Organization classifies burnout in the ICD-11 as an 'occupational phenomenon' resulting from chronic unmanaged workplace stress — not a medical condition in itself. That said, burnout symptoms can overlap significantly with depression, which is why we suggest also trying the DASS-21 if your burnout score is high.
    What can I do about a high burnout score?
    Speak with your GP about a Mental Health Treatment Plan, consider whether workplace adjustments are possible (WorkSafe/Comcare schemes vary by state), and see our guide to free and low-cost mental health support if cost is a barrier.
