Why?
Recent statistics from the ABS highlight that 42.9% of people aged 16–85 years have experienced a mental disorder at some time in their life. With 1 in 5 Australians experiencing a mental health condition each year, knowing how to recognise the signs and respond early is more important than ever. Mental Health First Aid training equips people with practical skills to support someone in distress, reduce stigma, and connect them to professional help. In workplaces, it fosters safer, more supportive environments, improves wellbeing, and helps organisations meet their duty of care. Just like physical first aid, it’s a skill that saves lives and strengthens communities.
