Accredited Mental Health First Aid Training — Melbourne

Victoria led the country on psychosocial-hazard regulation — the OHS Amendment (Psychological Health) Regulations are among the most prescriptive in Australia. WorkSafe Victoria expects Melbourne employers to demonstrate documented mental health first aid capability across HR, MHF networks, and people leaders. The Provide Psychological First Aid (PUARCV001) unit is the nationally recognised, AQF-accredited qualification that evidences exactly that — as a Statement of Attainment on each employee’s transcript. FMS delivers it 100% online to Melbourne CBD, Docklands, Southbank, Richmond, Dandenong, Geelong, and regional Victoria. Completion is typically 6–8 hours of self-paced study.

Why Melbourne employers are choosing accredited PFA

The Victorian OHS Amendment (Psychological Health) Regulations explicitly require employers to identify, assess, and control psychosocial hazards — and document the capability behind it. WorkSafe Victoria actively audits. Melbourne-based organisations across financial services, professional services, healthcare, local government, retail, construction, and education are bulk-enrolling teams in PUARCV001 because a Statement of Attainment is documented, defensible evidence of capability that a WorkSafe inspector accepts.
