A practical, evidence-based program that gives everyday people the skills to support someone experiencing a mental health problem or crisis.
Just as CPR gives someone the skills to keep a heart beating until medical help arrives, Mental Health First Aid gives people the skills to support someone in a mental health crisis — until professional help is available.
Developed in Canberra in 2000, MHFA is now one of the most trusted and widely used mental health training programs in the world, delivered across 50+ countries and completed by more than 7 million people worldwide.
More than 1.6 million Australians have been trained as Mental Health First Aiders.
Every course is developed by Mental Health First Aid Australia and delivered by licensed, accredited instructors.
Sessions are run face-to-face by a licensed MHFA instructor who brings real workplace scenarios into the room, not generic corporate wellness content.
Small group sizes mean every participant gets the chance to practise conversations, ask questions, and leave with skills they'll actually use.
On completion, participants receive a nationally recognised MHFA Certificate — valid for 3 years, issued by Mental Health First Aid Australia.
