Core Health Consulting Core Health Consulting helps to transform physical, mental & emotional wellness.

We work with individuals & workplaces to deliver engaging & effective courses, health promotion programs and consultation services including Mental Health First Aid Courses. If you’re looking for practical solutions to health, nutrition and fitness at work, you’ve come to the right place. At Core Health Consulting we have a range of health promotion programs to suit your business and budget – and they work! Before founding Core Health Consulting in 2007, Tammy Farrell spent 10 years working in intensive care and cardiac cath labs as a registered nurse. Working in those environments it was clear that many people simply didn’t understand how their bodies worked. Patients were arriving in intensive care after months of suffering symptoms that could have been managed much earlier. After the sudden death of a friend Tammy quit nursing and began educating people and businesses about health and wellness. Since then we’ve helped thousands of employees take action, seek help and regain their health through a range of health promotion programs that really work. We are passionate about health and wellness education and would love to help your workplace become healthier too, so, give us a call today on 1300 663 062 and let Core Health Consulting help your workplace become fitter, healthier and more productive!

Friendly reminder: your team is your safety system.

Leaders in mining, construction and trades, you can have the policies, the procedures, the toolbox talks. But the moment that actually matters?

It’s a conversation between two people on site.

1️⃣ Someone notices a change

2️⃣ Someone decides whether to say something

3️⃣ Someone either steps in early… or walks right past

Resilience First Aid gives your people something solid to fall back on in those moments.

It’s practical, neuroscience-based training that builds real confidence and gives teams practical tools to recognise early signs, steady a conversation and support someone properly without overstepping.

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.

Nearly two decades ago, I started this work because I could see a gap. Employees were showing up 5 days a week, giving their all to their jobs, but often they were doing it without clear information about their own physical and mental health.

That hasn’t changed.

Today, I still stand in front of mine workers and tradies, delivering health education that makes sense in real working conditions.

We talk about fatigue, mental health, early warning signs and how the body actually works under pressure.

This is what drives Core Health Consulting.

Not trends. Not ticking boxes.

But increasing health literacy so people can go home safer, healthier and more informed than when they arrived.

If your workplace is serious about safety and performance, where does health education sit on your priority list today?

Ticking the box on psychosocial safety isn’t enough if nothing changes in the months that follow. Real compliance means building systems that last long after the workshop ends.

That’s why FIFO Ma8 was designed as an ongoing program, not a one-off session. It blends accredited Mental Health First Aid, Resilience First Aid, Fatigue Management and regular Peer Support sessions into a structure that keeps people engaged year-round.

Over time, these touchpoints create a stronger safety culture where leaders model care, workers speak up earlier and mates look out for mates. The result is a workplace that meets the Code of Practice not just on paper, but in everyday behaviour.

If you’re serious about maintaining compliance and protecting your people, it’s time to make psychosocial safety part of your routine.

Something I’ve noticed working with crews across Australia…

The strongest teams aren’t the ones with the most policies, they’re the ones where people have practical skills.

Leaders in mining, construction and trades, you can have all the procedures and toolbox talks. But what actually matters?

It’s a conversation between two people on site.

1️⃣ Someone notices a change

2️⃣ Someone decides whether to say something

3️⃣ Someone either steps in early… or walks right past

That moment decides everything.

Resilience First Aid gives your people something solid to fall back on in those moments.

It’s practical, neuroscience-based training that builds real confidence and gives teams tools they can actually use on site.

Is your team safe?

The words of the Dalai Lama could not be more true…

05/10/2026

Workplaces can’t thrive when people are sick, stressed and tired. That’s why Core Health exists.

The reality is employees juggle busy, stressful lives and then show up to work expected to be productive. Without the right support, that productivity is impossible.

Our wellbeing programs give teams the tools to take meaningful steps toward better health.

From Mental Health First Aid to fatigue management and interactive sessions, we equip employees with confidence and practical strategies they can apply straight away.

For us, success isn’t about ticking compliance boxes. It’s about empowering every worker to care for themselves and their colleagues, creating workplaces where both people and productivity thrive.

Every week, thousands of Australians fly in, drive in, or move between worksites.

They face long shifts, isolation, fatigue and pressure to perform - often with little ongoing support for their mental health.

FIFO Ma8 was created for them.

It’s a structured three-year program combining Mental Health First Aid, Resilience First Aid, Fatigue Management and Peer Support.

It’s designed for FIFO, DIDO and Move About workers - the people who keep our industries running.

The goal is simple: build safer, stronger, more connected workplaces that meet psychosocial safety obligations and protect every mate on every shift.

Launching January 2026.

Often my job takes me on-site or into training facilities, but days like this look a bit different.

Standing behind a table at an expo, talking to people as they walk past, you hear a lot in a short space of time.

Some stop and say, “we’re fine, we’ve got it covered.”
Some pause a bit longer and admit, “we probably need to be doing more.”
And then there are the ones who lean in slightly and say, “we’ve got a few things going on in the team… not sure how to handle it.”

Those are the conversations that matter.

Because most workplaces aren’t ignoring this. They’re just unsure where the line is, what’s expected of them now, and how to actually support their people without making things worse or overstepping.

So I make it simple.

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.

This is what I love to do: meet people where they’re at, give them something practical they can use straight away, and make it clear there’s trusted support behind them when they need it.

Some people read books on holidays. I read the room.

(Even the safety hazards near by, hence the power line hanging from the roof to the footpath whilst walking to the restaurant).

I do try to switch off. Truly. But after years in nursing, health education and workplace training, I still notice people.

The tired one doing all the heavy lifting.

The quiet one who has gone a bit flat.

The manager holding the team together with a smile that looks like it took effort.

The person who says, “All good,” when they are clearly not all good.

It shows up everywhere. Airports. Cafes. Hotels. Restaurants. Worksites.

And it matters.

Because in mining, construction and trades, people often keep pushing because the job needs doing, the crew is short and the pressure is normal.

But fatigue and pressure do not stay hidden forever.

They show up in mistakes, tension, shortcuts, withdrawal and inconsistent performance.

That is why I care so much about practical workplace training. Not lectures. Not box-ticking. Real support that helps people notice what is changing earlier and respond before things become harder to manage.

Do you read the room too?

Work today doesn’t fit neatly inside one site or one postcode. Teams move. Rosters shift. Some fly, some drive, some move from job to job for months at a time.

That constant motion creates invisible risks: fatigue, isolation, and disconnection. When workers are scattered, support systems need to travel with them.

FIFO Ma8 was built for this reality.

It’s a flexible, long-term safety and wellbeing program that follows your people wherever they go. Training can happen in-house, online, or through public sessions, ensuring every employee stays connected, supported and compliant under the psychosocial legislation code.

Leaders get consistency. Workers get care that fits their lifestyle. Everyone gets home safe.

Ready to make psychosocial safety practical across every site you manage?
