Core Health Consulting

Core Health Consulting helps to transform physical, mental & emotional wellness.

We work with individuals & workplaces to deliver engaging & effective courses, health promotion programs and consultation services including Mental Health First Aid Courses. If you’re looking for practical solutions to health, nutrition and fitness at work, you’ve come to the right place. At Core Health Consulting we have a range of health promotion programs to suit your business and budget – and they work! Before founding Core Health Consulting in 2007, Tammy Farrell spent 10 years working in intensive care and cardiac cath labs as a registered nurse. Working in those environments it was clear that many people simply didn’t understand how their bodies worked. Patients were arriving in intensive care after months of suffering symptoms that could have been managed much earlier. After the sudden death of a friend Tammy quit nursing and began educating people and businesses about health and wellness. Since then we’ve helped thousands of employees take action, seek help and regain their health through a range of health promotion programs that really work. We are passionate about health and wellness education and would love to help your workplace become healthier too, so, give us a call today on 1300 663 062 and let Core Health Consulting help your workplace become fitter, healthier and more productive!

Most people do not wake up thinking about their prostate. It sits quietly in the background of daily life, doing its job without noise or drama, until something changes.

Yet prostate cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in Australian men.

This is why I care so deeply about health literacy. When the body is explained clearly and without fear, people are more willing to notice small changes and respond early, rather than waiting for certainty that arrives too late.

I’m Tammy Howell, registered nurse, mental health trainer and founder of Core Health Consulting. I help Australian businesses support safer, healthier and compliant teams at work.

What would informed action look like for you right now?

11/01/2026

Psychosocial compliance is no longer optional. For FIFO, DIDO and move-about workers, isolation, fatigue and stress aren’t just “part of the job”, they’re recognised workplace hazards under WHS law.

The question isn’t if you’ll address them. It’s how.

FIFOMa8 is coming…

Most men assume prostate problems are obvious, painful and hard to ignore. That assumption is where the risk sits.

There are four common prostate conditions I talk about in my work.

Three are uncomfortable, disruptive, or frustrating. One can be silent for years, but is actually deadly.

➤ Prostatitis
Painful inflammation, often treatable.

➤ Benign enlargement
Common with age, slowly affects urine flow.

➤ Prostatodynia
Chronic pelvic pain, more common in younger men.

➤ Prostate cancer
Often no symptoms early. Potentially life-threatening.

Prostate cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in Australian men.

The issue with it is not discomfort. It’s delay.

I see too many men wait for something to feel wrong, when earlier checks would have meant more options and better outcomes. Small conversations matter, especially the ones you have with yourself.

I’m Tammy Howell, registered nurse, mental health trainer and founder of Core Health Consulting. I help Australian businesses support safer, healthier and compliant teams at work.

What’s one practical step you can take this month to stay informed about your health?

08/01/2026

Long shifts. Heavy loads. High pressure.
Compliance now demands action that protects every mate on the job.

FIFOMa8 is coming…

05/01/2026

Under the WHS Code of Practice, employers must identify and control psychosocial risks like fatigue, conflict, and high job demands.

Mental Health First Aid training is one of the most effective ways to meet these obligations.

Our accredited MHFA courses give leaders the skills to:

- act early
- support colleagues with confidence
- reduce costly incidents and claims

Workplaces can’t thrive when people are sick, stressed and tired. That’s why Core Health exists.

The reality is employees juggle busy, stressful lives and then show up to work expected to be productive. Without the right support, that productivity is impossible.

Our wellbeing programs give teams the tools to take meaningful steps toward better health.

From Mental Health First Aid to fatigue management and interactive sessions, we equip employees with confidence and practical strategies they can apply straight away.

For us, success isn’t about ticking compliance boxes. It’s about empowering every worker to care for themselves and their colleagues, creating workplaces where both people and productivity thrive.

02/01/2026

If you're leading a crew in mining, construction, or trades, the risks aren’t just physical anymore.

Mental health is a safety issue - and your legal responsibility under WHS law.

You are now required to manage:

- Burnout from relentless rosters and pressure

- Unreasonable workloads and poor staffing

- Low role clarity that leaves workers overwhelmed and unsupported

That’s not an HR concern - it’s enforceable under the Psychosocial Hazards Code of Practice.

Core Health can help you meet these new standards with ease:

✔️ Resilience & Leadership training

✔️ Mental Health First Aid for early intervention

✔️ Fatigue Programs that actually get results onsite

Core Health’s programs are designed for the real world - high-vis, high-risk workplaces where no one has time.

You stay compliant. Your people stay safe. Everyone wins.

When employees are unwell, exhausted, or stressed, performance and safety take a hit. Under today’s WHS Code of Practice, leaders have a clear duty to address psychosocial hazards like fatigue, stress and low support... not just tick the box with an EAP.

That’s where Core Health Consulting helps.

We deliver Mental Health First Aid training, fatigue management programs, resilience training and tailored wellbeing sessions that give workers the knowledge and confidence to look after themselves and their mates.

Leaders gain practical tools to prevent risks, strengthen teams, and meet compliance obligations with confidence.

For us, success is more than information shared.

It’s when knowledge turns into action: workers speak up early, colleagues support each other, and businesses see lasting results in safety, culture, and productivity.

What’s one step your workplace has taken to improve health at work?

30/12/2025

Seventeen years ago, I found myself on site, talking to crews about something most of us were never taught: our own health.

In mining, construction and the trades, you know your gear inside out. But when it comes to understanding fatigue, stress or even the basics of how our bodies work, it’s often ignored until it becomes a crisis.

That’s why I wrote my book, The Real Man’s Toolbox.

It was my way of putting practical, down-to-earth health knowledge into the hands of Aussie blokes in a language that made sense.

Since then, I’ve worked with thousands of leaders and workers across Australia delivering programs on general health, mental health, fatigue and resilience that cut through and make a difference where it matters most: on the ground.

I’ve seen the culture shift.

From silence to open conversations. From stigma to support. From risk to resilience.

Leaders in mining, construction and trades: What’s changed in the way you work?

29/12/2025

Having an Employee Assistance Program is great, but it’s not enough anymore.

Under the WHS Psychosocial Code of Practice, you have a legal obligation to actively identify and manage risks like:

⚠️ Fatigue
⚠️ High job demands
⚠️ Low support
⚠️ Poor job clarity
⚠️ Workplace conflict

An EAP is reactive. It waits for someone to put their hand up.

But by then, the damage is often done - in the form of injuries, stress claims, or lost productivity.

What you really need is prevention.

That’s where Core Health Consulting steps in.

We deliver practical, no-BS programs like:

✔️ Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) – Giving your leaders tools to respond early

✔️ Fatigue & resilience training – Built specifically for mining, construction, and trades

✔️ CHAP – A telehealth-based workplace health program for early intervention

Let’s go beyond the bare minimum and actually protect your crew before stress turns into serious harm.

With Core Health on your team? You’re meeting your WHS duties and supporting your people.

28/12/2025

With nearly two decades of experience on worksites across Australia, I know what really keeps teams safe... and it’s not just PPE and paperwork.

I'm Tammy Howell, founder of Core Health Consulting. At Core Health, we deliver no-BS health education that actually works:

✓ Resilience & Leadership Training
✓ Fatigue Management
✓ Mental Health First Aid
✓ CHAP: Workplace Telehealth & Return-to-Work Support
✓ The Real Man’s Toolbox sessions

Want to prevent injuries, improve compliance and create a safer, healthier workforce? Let's talk.

26/12/2025

You rolled out Mental Health First Aid. Your team is trained. But now what?

Awareness is a powerful first step, but without a follow-up plan, things fall flat:

- Mental health champions feel isolated
- Confidence drops without ongoing support
- Systems aren’t in place to manage real risks like fatigue, burnout, or recovery

That’s where Core Health steps in.

After MHFA, Core Health helps you build a culture of care with:

1. CHAP - confidential health support and telehealth for injured or struggling staff

2. Manager coaching - so your leaders feel confident, not out of their depth

3. Workshops on fatigue and psychological safety - made for tough, high-risk worksites

4. Tools for culture change - not just awareness, but action

5. Practical resources - kits, posters, and on-site prompts to keep things top of mind

6. 12-month wraparound programs - because real change takes time

Core Health turns your MHFA investment into something that lasts: safer people, stronger teams, and compliance you can stand behind.
