I've completed a Diploma of Counselling with Health Academy Australia and am now enjoying private practice. My tutor was Leonie Schilling and I cannot praise her enough. Leonie was so supportive, patient, knowledgeable and encouraging. When I first started the Diploma my work was sub par as I had not studied for many many years, Leonie was firm but fair with bringing this to my attention and helping me move forward and overcome this. I will be forever thankful that I had Leonie as my tutor and I highly recommend her and the Academy to anyone looking to further their education, and increase their knowledge and improve their skillset. Thank you Leonie and Health Academy Australia.
I did certificate course in Human nutrition from Health Academy Australia. I had an excellent experience leaning online course with the academy. My tutor Melinda is very knowledgeable. It was super interesting to learn online with this academy, material was good, and I earned quality information. They are prompt in communication. Overall, great experience.
Had Trys come in for a PD. He was great. Down to earth, genuine, incredibly knowledgeable and empathetic. Great PD.
Trys is 'passionate' about mental health and has a natural, genuine approach that is a breath of fresh air. Great trainer, great course.
Trys is very informative and friendly. Would highly recommend completing a course with him
This was defiantly a valuable course to attend. No matter what context we are in, we will all encounter someone living with mental health challenges. This course gave me an opportunity to learn more about mental health and the affect it has on peoples lives as well as how I can provide support for someone experiencing mental health challenges. Trys was very knowledgeable and easily approachable. He made the experience comfortable, especially considering the sensitive topic we were discussing. Great job Trys!
How important is mental health and how can we better ourselves on this experience and journey to understand us and the people around us. One of the best courses I've done hands down, Trys is a legend.
I was very fortunate to attend a two-day Worksafe Endorsed Return To Work Coordinator course which was facilitated by Teresa Coffey. Teresa and her team provided an excellent two-day course that was both educational and enjoyable. The evidence-based learning materials, interactive sessions and break-out rooms were impactful in helping me understand the different aspects of the course. Teresa Coffey shared her expertise and passion for teaching, making the experience enjoyable and interactive. The pre-recorded learning materials were so enriching that I have to revisits them repeatedly. Course quality and depths of conversations regarding scenarios were admirable. I’m now confident in my ability to support workers in their return to work journey. Thank you, Kindly Teresa, and the team for an excellent learning experience that exceeded my expectations. Jude.
I have just completed a 2 day Mental Health First Aid course and would highly recommend this for anyone to attend. Lauren the trainer/presenter knows her stuff. It is incredibly interesting and makes one feel confident about dealing with mental health not only in the work place but also in your own life. Highly recommended.
I attended the RTW Coordinator online course. I had not completed this training for ten years so it was a great refresher. I loved the lay out of the course and the ability to mix self directed learning, with the online live sessions and networking with other coordinators. This was also a great course to cross reference your current policies and procedures against the legislative requirements. I would recommend this course to anyone.
Our team attended the MHFA training. From booking in to the zoom classes, everything was wonderful. They were quick to respond to any questions or needs, they provided everything we needed, and then for the Zoom classes we had Lauren as the instructor. Our entire team loved the experience with Lauren. They all felt safe in discussing some difficult topics, and we all feel more prepared to provide mental health first aid in our roles.
I recently attended the 2-day Mental Health First Aid training with WPI. It was an excellently-run course which improved my knowledge and confidence around mental health enormously. Our trainer Rae provided a really good balance of factual information and practical steps. I would definitely recommend this training to others.
I wanted to say thank you to John Mamacan, Master Licensed Instructor for delivering a great refresher session. I was very impressed by your knowledge and skills. You made the session engaging and interactive, and provided me with useful tips and resources for supporting people with mental health issues. I learned a lot from the session and I feel more confident and prepared to help others in need. I highly recommend this session to anyone who wants to refresh their mental health first aid skills and learn from great trainers.

Very constructive and beneficial discussions which were considerate of participants feels but very productive! Exceptional training!
Fantastic training. Very powerful and helpful discussion. Facilitator combined best of rigorous frameworks with lived experience
Highly recommend the MHFA training for workplaces and especially from John Mamacan, who is a Master MHFA Trainer. He is contributing to Psychological Safety awareness through his training program. He guides you through his life based practical examples and is passionate to instil the MHFA skills into his trainees. Keep up the good work John! And I look forward to reading your book on Mental Health and Fitness soon.
I was recently part of a mental health first aid training Leigh led. She was phenomenal. The sessions were very informative and Leigh’s knowledge and experience was invaluable. I will definitely be attending more training with her in future.
When booking the MHFA course with Leigh, I didn't give much thought to what to expect. My workplace is quite forward thinking and genuinely looks for ways to better support the team, so my goal was simply to learn more about mental health and how I can support my colleagues in a moment of crisis (or who simply need some support). Leigh created a fun and engaging learning space and got everyone involved and participating positively. It was the most engaging course I have attended, which was a surprise given the content! I highly recommend any one, or company, looking to add MHFA'ers to the team. But more so to learn more about creating safe workspaces, raising awareness around mental health/illness and how so many factors can influence where each of us sit on that continuum. Thanks Leigh. I have a lot more curiosity now around mental health and will...Read More
Leigh is an absolute god sent of an earth side angel! I have seen Leigh for many years now and I’d be pretty lost without her it’s hard to find the perfect phycologist but yes they truly do exist! Leigh has been there through my highs and lows and I’m just so grateful to have a professional I can turn to in moments of doubt and moment of joy! I love Leigh’s shelf of fun fidget toys and her set up always feels welcoming and safe so thanks again Leigh for being a star and ray of sunshine in this crazy fun unknown world
