Mental Health & Wellbeing Training.
KINNECT’s tailored mental health & wellbeing training improves awareness and equips your workers with the capability to recognise and act on mental health risks — delivered by registered psychologists, virtually or onsite.
Delivered by KINNECT psychologists nationwide. Half-day or full-day sessions, in-person or virtual.
Quick answer
The short version
KINNECT Psychosocial Hazard Awareness Training equips leaders and workers to identify, assess and control the psychological hazards now regulated under WHS law across Australia. The training is delivered by KINNECT psychologists either virtually or on-site, runs for half a day to a full day depending on the audience, and includes practical tools your business can use straight away.
Why education is the missing link
Policies and EAPs only go so far.
Reducing psychosocial hazards through policies and Employee Assistance Programs will only get your workplace part of the way to protecting mental health. The missing link is education.
Our tailored training improves awareness and equips your workers with the capability to recognise and act on mental health risks — building a culture of wellbeing that makes your existing initiatives work harder.
Up to $15 ROI
Per $1 invested in effective mental health initiatives — through productivity, retention and reduced injury claims.

FAQs
Common questions from employers.
What are the benefits of engaging workers in mental health training?
SuperFriend's 2023 Indicators of a Thriving Workplace report shows that organisations that invest in building mental health capabilities can earn a $15 return — through productivity, retention and reduced injury claims — for every $1 spent on effective initiatives.When should I consider engaging mental health training?
Use it as a preventative measure, or when the workforce would benefit from a better understanding of mental health. Common triggers include presenteeism, absenteeism or turnover; team cohesion or performance issues; bullying or harassment complaints; rapid organisational change; or in the wake of a significant workplace incident.My workforce hasn’t engaged well with mental health training before. How can you help?
Our facilitators have worked with industries that are traditionally resistant to mental health training. We take the time to understand your workforce and design a tailored session that speaks their language, with practical insights relevant to their roles.I can't take everyone off the tools at once. How can you deliver training?
We design the format around your business. That can mean shorter sessions, staggered rosters, multiple smaller groups, or virtual delivery — whatever balances attendee time with operational needs.Do you have existing training programs we can run now?
Yes. We offer off-the-shelf programs that can be delivered as-is or tweaked to suit your workforce, and we can design a fully bespoke program where that’s a better fit.
