GENERIC SUPERVISION ASSESSMENT TOOL
The Generic Supervision Assessment Tool (GSAT) was developed and validated for benchmarking supervisor competencies by supervisors (GSAT-SR), supervisees (GSAT-SE), and third-party assessors (GSAT-A).
The three freely available tools were designed to allow for multi-perspectives on supervisors practice assisting supervisors, supervisees, educators, and researchers to understand and enhance the core evidence-based competency skills critical to facilitating effective supervision regardless of profession or practice setting.

The GSAT can be utilised to benchmark supervisor’s competency, strengthening feedback processes and clinician’s awareness on core competencies and as an evidence-based pre- and post-training tool. The GSAT helps fill a critical need for tools that are psychometrically reliable and valid, quick to complete, appropriate for application across a broad cross section of the workforce and freely and easily accessible.
