Technology-based platforms are widely used to deliver mental health support. The aim of this study was to explore factors associated with the use of technology-based mental health platforms by students who may be vulnerable to develop a mental health condition in an Australian psychology student sample. Participants were 1146 students (18–30 years) at an Australian university who completed a survey regarding their current mental health symptoms and lifetime use of technology-based platforms. The student’s country of birth, having a previous mental health diagnosis, having a family member with a mental illness and greater stress scores predicted any type of online/technology-use. Greater symptoms correlated with lower helpfulness of online mental health programs and websites. Apps were perceived as more helpful by those with a mental illness history and associated with higher stress scores. The use of any type of technology-based platform was high in the sample overall. Further research may clarify why mental health programs are less popular, and how these platforms may be utilised to support mental health outcomes.
