Accredited Mental Health First Aid Australia courseDelivered by a licensed MHFA instructor
From the anonymous survey MHFA Australia sends every participant after the course.
Organisations I've trained with
Mental Health First Aid is an accredited course from Mental Health First Aid Australia. It teaches everyday people how to notice when someone is struggling, start the conversation and guide them towards professional help. Think first aid, but for mental health: not therapy, just the skills to help until the right support takes over.
I run private courses for workplaces, community groups, sporting clubs and not-for-profits, at your place.
Trained Mental Health First Aiders are the people who notice early, start the conversation and point colleagues to the right support. They're also a practical, visible control for psychosocial hazards, which NSW employers now have to manage the same way they manage physical ones.
$4,950 + GST, up to 15 people
Training for workplacesCoaches, team managers and committee members are often the first to notice when a player or volunteer isn't okay. The club rate makes it easy to train a group before the season, and it can easily be covered by a community grant.
$3,300 + GST, up to 15 people
Training for clubsNationwide, and just down the road.
We talk about your people, what's been happening and what would make the training land. I shape the examples around your world.

Everyone gets the MHFA manual and can become an Accredited Mental Health First Aider for three years.
Every participant rates the training on MHFA Australia's own survey. If your team's average comes in under 4.5 out of 5, I'll refund a quarter of the fee. My average is 4.9.
A licensed Mental Health First Aid instructor living in Collaroy. I've trained hundreds of people, from mine site crews to teachers to junior sport volunteers.
My day job is wellbeing at work. I lead customer wellbeing at Streamtime, project management software for creative businesses. Before that I was a mental wellbeing consultant, facilitated for Gotcha4Life and founded 2 Minute Mates, a mental health project. I know how this stuff lands on a Tuesday morning in the real world, not in a training room.

No law requires MHFA specifically. NSW WHS law does require employers to identify and manage psychosocial risks, such as high job demands, low support and exposure to traumatic events. Trained Mental Health First Aiders are one practical control that helps people spot problems early and get support.
Yes. I'm a licensed Mental Health First Aid Australia instructor delivering the Standard MHFA course. Participants who complete the course and the assessment become Accredited Mental Health First Aiders for three years.

Enough that anyone can easily reach a trained person, across shifts, sites and teams. For most small and medium businesses and clubs, a group of 10 to 15 is a strong start.
Usually, yes. Local council community grants and state sport and wellbeing programs regularly fund training like this, so the club rate can often be covered in full.
We work that out together on the planning call, around your rosters, shifts or training nights. It's always delivered in person, at your place.
