Work with our experienced facilitators and access the benefits of full Mental Health First Aid accreditation in the comfort of your own space – simple, online training.
Considering the prevalence of mental health issues, you’ve likely been in a position to offer support to someone in need, but lack the knowledge or experience to take the first step. Identifying when someone is in need can feel difficult, and then intervening to offer support in a sensitive, appropriate way is even more daunting without a ready plan of action.
Many mental health crises aren’t immediately obvious, which means that many problems pass beyond our notice. But a trained Mental Health First Aider, knowledgeable in identifying signs and symptoms of growing issues, can provide life-saving assistance in the same manner as a physical First Aider in a physical health crisis.
A Mental Health First Aid course gives you the knowledge, skills, and confidence to notice when a peer requires assistance, follow a plan of action to stabilise a crisis, and guide your friends, family or colleagues to the help they need. Mental Health First Aid training helps you keep your community or workplace safe.
Whether you’re looking for the tools to protect your community or plan to improve the health & safety of your workplace, we make the knowledge & skills of MHFA as accessible as possible. Our facilitators are experienced in running MHFA training in a wide variety of settings, always ready to help you understand and engage in the way you find easiest. We make the online experience as positive and accessible as our in-person courses with easy-to-understand training and dedicated support.
MHFA is informed by the lived experience of people - something our facilitators are familiar with. We bring much of ourselves to each course, and use our experiences as counsellors, coaches, leaders, and people to help you connect and learn.
Life is messy - whether it’s time, location, learning type, or anything else - we cater with full customisation. We prioritise accessibility, catering for in-person, remote, or unique content - we’ll make sure you get the MHFA that’s right for you.
Mental health can be a tough topic for many people. With deep respect for both the subject material and you, we make it easier to approach with a comfortable, safe atmosphere - and we even share a laugh from time to time.
In whichever way you measure your impact - we take the same perspective. From healthier workplaces, to critical skills and confident, open conversations, we’ll aim for your goals and measure the outcomes together.
Mental Health First Aid certification is a well-understood benefit to any community, but not always easy to arrange. It is with us. We work with you to help access and integrate the powerful lessons of MHFA into your community or organisation.
Mental Health First Aid is for everyone - we aim to make it equally accessible regardless of your experience in life. We offer sensory aids, fidget tools, and customised courses to give you the best experience. Don’t hesitate to tell us what you need.
Our online training is accessible from anywhere with an internet connection. You’ll join our facilitator for a customised version of your preferred course with all the critical knowledge and skills to help you become proficient in identifying & intervening in a mental health crisis, and providing long-term support and guidance to those in need.
You’re provided with a nationally standardised e-learning package through Mental Health First Aid Australia, created through decades of up-to-date, evidence-based knowledge, and specific to your course. We’ll help you feel comfortable and confident throughout the group portion of your training, and provide an online learning experience that suits you with plenty of opportunities for discussion and practice.
Our courses are entirely evidence-based and supported by consensus between professionals & a diverse range of people with lived experience with mental health issues. Each MHFA course available online, standard, workplace, youth, and our refresher program, is designed to help you prevent, intervene and support people experiencing mental health issues, and develop an environment that promotes wellbeing.
You’ll learn to apply the ALGEE action plan to help in a crisis, and build the confidence to make an impact on the mental health outcomes in your workplace or community.

In Australia, and also the wider world, mental health outcomes continually fail to meet the standards of a healthy, functioning society. It’s an issue that deserves our attention – to overcome stigmas and create an environment where people are supported through tough times. We believe it can be achieved with a dedicated response from everyday people.
