About Consult Australia's Mental Health Knowledge Hub

Consult Australia member businesses have prioritised, progressed, produced and promoted the mental health content available on this mental health knowledge hub, demonstrating the people-centric ethos at the heart of the consulting industry. 

 

On this knowledge hub you will find:

  • campaigns we have developed, or we support, that promote mentally healthy workplaces
  • business guides developed by Consult Australia members for consulting businesses and their staff
  • member experiences in developing mentally healthy workplace strategies
  • links to external resources developed by peer supported mental health organisations

We thank our members for their leadership and dedication that has made this knowledge hub possible, and we applaud all those who continue to champion mentally healthy workplaces, and a mentally healthy industry.

 

The success and sustainability of our industry is underpinned by the health and wellbeing of our people. If you have any ideas on how we can better support our people and the ecosystem of our industry, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the Consult Australia team.
