We are proud to say that all of our Support Coordinators and Psychosocial Recovery Coaches are Mental Health First Aid trained.

This education program has equipped our team with the key skills we need to work on the front line in the NDIS.

We are very grateful for this initiative and how it has allowed us to easily upskill our team and meet our community's needs.

Mental Health First Aid International today announces the retirement of Emeritus Professor Tony Jorm from his role as Board Director, concluding a remarkable 25-year chapter in our history.

Co-founding MHFA in 2000 with his wife, Betty Kitchener AM, Professor Jorm has been pivotal in transforming an Australian idea into one of the world’s most impactful mental health education programs – now operating in more than 40 countries, with more than 8 million people trained.

“For more than two decades, Professor Jorm’s dedication – as a co-founder, researcher, innovator, inaugural Board Chair, and most recently Board Director – has been marked by generosity, empathy, and a deep belief in the power of individuals, workplaces and communities to support one another,” said MHFAI Board Chair Krystian Seibert.

We thank Professor Jorm for his extraordinary service and for his lasting legacy in increasing mental health literacy, reducing stigma, and building capacity for early intervention and prevention worldwide.

Confused by NDIS language or service categories? 😵‍💫

You don’t have to figure it out alone. We’ll help you understand your plan and make it work for you.

A diagnosis alone isn’t enough to access the NDIS.

The scheme looks at how a condition impacts your ability to do everyday things, like communicating, working or managing tasks. 🧠

That’s where good documentation and a strong Support Coordinator can help you be heard. 🧩

Anxiety can feel overwhelming, but simple grounding exercises can make a difference. 🌿

Try the 5-4-3-2-1 technique:
5 things you can see 👀
4 things you can touch ✋
3 things you can hear 👂
2 things you can smell 👃
1 thing you can taste 👅

Practice this to anchor yourself in the now. 🧘‍♀️
