Core Health Consulting

02/06/2026

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?

“Men’s health will never be a thing.” I remember getting told that early in my career. But the data tells a different story.

In Australia, men make up over 90% of workplace fatalities (Safe Work Australia). Three out of four su***des in Australia are men, and it remains the leading cause of death for men aged 15–44 (Australian Bureau of Statistics).

Men are also far less likely to seek help early, with significantly lower use of mental health services and a tendency to delay support until symptoms are severe (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare).

The numbers speak for themselves: men’s health matters.

If your workforce is mostly men (mining, construction, trades) this sits directly with you.

Resilience training gives your team the ability to recognise pressure early and stay consistent under load. Mental Health First Aid training gives your leaders a clear way to step in before things escalate.

I’m Tammy Howell, registered nurse, mental health and resilience trainer and founder of Core Health Consulting. I help Australian businesses in mining, construction and trades support safe, compliant and productive teams at work.

Many of the teams I work with have never learned to spot the problem early.

Instead, they’re waiting for the incident to happen before running the investigation, slapping on a fix, then waiting for it to happen again.

Resilience training is one of the most effective way to break that loop, but most don’t even know what that kind of training looks like.

It’s practical, no-jargon education that gives your crew the ability to spot early warning signs before they become a crisis. In just two days of real scenarios, they build skills that work on an actual job site, not just in a training room.

We've got 2026 Resilience First Aid dates open now:

May 18-19
July 20-21
September 21-22
November 16-17

I'm here every Friday afternoon, watching the boys become a team.

I know it’s “just a game,” but I also see them doing more than just play. They’re learning to communicate when they're frustrated, and to recover from a bad call without falling apart. They learn when it’s their turn to step up or to step back, because being on a team means you can't go it alone.

That’s also how they learn to trust each other over time, so when a critical play happens their actions become automatic.

I see similar dynamics on mine sites and construction crews. Breakdowns happen when that trust isn't there, while performance and safety improve when it is.

Resilient teams aren't built spontaneously in a moment of crisis. You have to invest in them through daily habits, check-ins, and a willingness to notice when the person next to you isn't quite right.

That's exactly what I help workplaces build.

Is this something you recognise in your own crew? If not, let me know where you need help.

Most blokes don’t need a lecture on stress. They need to know someone sees it, and there’s a way through it.

That matters in male dominated industries like mining, construction and trades because men’s health is not some side issue. In 2024, 96% of Australian worker fatalities were male.(Source: Safe Work Australia). In the same year, 76.5% of people who died by su***de in Australia were male. (Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics)

These numbers do not mean every bloke on site is struggling. They do mean men’s health belongs in the workplace safety conversation.

Most men will not put their hand up and say, “I’m stressed.”

They are more likely to say they are tired, flat, sore, not sleeping, drinking more, snapping quicker or making silly mistakes.

This is why good training matters. Practical training helps leaders and crews recognise what pressure, fatigue and poor recovery actually look like in real life, so they know what to do next.

I’m Tammy Howell, registered nurse, mental health and resilience trainer and founder of Core Health Consulting. I help Australian businesses in mining, construction and trades support safe, compliant and productive teams at work.

Through Mental Health First Aid, fatigue management and resilience training Australia, I help teams spot early signs, have better conversations and act before small issues become bigger problems.

Is stress out of control on your site?

Most supervisors can spot a tired worker, but they can't always spot the difference between just tired and fatigue.

Fatigue looks like a short fuse, a near-miss that "came out of nowhere," or a bloke who's usually reliable suddenly making calls that don't add up.

You can fix tired with more sleep, but fatigue is caused by weeks of accumulated load that won’t be solved with a few hours of shut-eye. And by the time it's visible on site, it's already been affecting performance and safety for a while.

The difference matters, because the response is different too. You can't roster your way out of fatigue, because what you need is a team that knows what they're looking at before it becomes an incident in the first place.

That's what Resilience First Aid training is built for. It’s two days of practical, no-fluff education designed for people who work in real environments.

2026 dates are still open:

May 18–19
July 20–21
September 21–22
November 16–17.

If your crew works long shifts, remote sites, or back-to-back rosters - this is worth your time.
