INDUCTION
PLUS

Induction Plus adds human support and psychosocial safety to what you already do.

Induction Plus - Layered onto your existing induction

A people-first onboarding layer that builds onto your existing induction to strengthen connection, awareness, and safety from day one. Using our Connect → Strengthen → Protect framework, it helps employees understand who supports them, how psychosocial risks show up in everyday work, and what happens when concerns need to be escalated. Rather than duplicating policies or training, Induction Plus fills the gaps that traditional inductions miss — creating clarity, confidence, and safer workplaces for both people and organisations.

CONNECT- Belonging & Support

STRENGTHEN- Awareness & Resilience

PROTECT - Safety & Escalation

Mindful Champions is your foundation program for confident, caring peer support .

Mindful Champions — the heart of our people-first approach to workplace wellbeing and psychosocial safety.

It’s a practical, integrated system that goes beyond training to create real, sustainable change in how organisations support mental health and manage psychosocial risk.

Built on our Connect → Strengthen → Protect framework, the program brings together Mental Health First Aid, peer support systems, prevention and leadership training, and structured wellbeing oversight into one cohesive model. It ensures your people aren’t just trained — they’re supported, guided, and backed by clear processes, professional input, and ongoing care.

Mindful Champions helps organisations move from reactive crisis response to proactive culture, prevention, and protection. It empowers safer conversations, builds everyday resilience and leadership capability, and provides the governance and visibility needed to meet SafeWork NSW psychosocial expectations with confidence.

The Thrive Leadership Programs are a tiered development pathway designed to support leaders at every stage — from those stepping into leadership for the first time, to experienced leaders carrying organisational responsibility for wellbeing and psychosocial safety.
