Remedy First Aid Training

Is your workplace ready to support the men on your team?

This Men's Health Week (15–21 June), we're asking employers and business owners to take a closer look at the blokes who show up every day — often carrying more than they let on.

The numbers matter at work. According to Beyond blue:

· 26% of men admit to delaying seeing their GP for help when they needed it

· Death from su***de amongst men is nearly double the national road toll

· Seven out of fine people who die by su***de everyday are men.

Men aren't struggling any less. They're just less likely to speak up.

That's where you can make a difference. A workplace that encourages early support — starting with something as simple as a GP appointment — can change the way men cope before things reach crisis point.

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training takes it a step further. It gives your people the confidence to notice when a colleague is struggling, start a supportive conversation, and guide them toward help. The difference between a team that hopes someone copes and one that's genuinely prepared.

What's one step your workplace could take this week?

This Men's Health Week (15–21 June), we want to take a moment to recognise the blokes in our Remedy community – our mates, colleagues, partners, dads, and friends. 💚

You matter, and so does your health.

Here's why this week is so important. According to the ABS (2020–22), almost 1 in 5 Australian men experienced a mental health condition in the past year. Yet men are far less likely than women to reach out for help – just 12.9% saw a health professional, compared to 21.6% of women. Men were also twice as likely to experience a substance use disorder.

These numbers remind us that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
So, here's our one ask this week: book that GP appointment you've been putting off. It's a simple step that can make a real difference.

Which mate will you check in on today?

While students enjoyed a day away from the classroom, the team at Cheltenham Primary School spent their curriculum day building and refreshing lifesaving first aid skills.

We are proud to support Cheltenham Primary School each year with their annual staff first aid training.

Training large staff groups is what we do. Whether it's 20 staff or 100 staff, we bring the training to you, making it practical, hands-on and engaging for every participant.

Thank you to Cheltenham Primary School for your ongoing trust and commitment to safety. We look forward to seeing you again next year!

Safety starts with knowing what to do.

Workplace Mental Health First Aid training is about more than compliance 💚

It’s about helping people feel more confident recognising when someone may be struggling, starting supportive conversations, and building stronger support networks within workplaces and communities.

Thank you to Chris and the team at Emmetts following their recent Workplace Mental Health First Aid training with Remedy First Aid Training.

As many workplaces and regional communities continue to navigate ongoing pressure and uncertainty, supportive and mentally healthy workplace cultures matter more than ever.
