Mental Health Commitment

As part of our commitment to Mental Health Awareness and in addressing the stigmas associated with Mental Health, KCU establishes, promotes and maintains the mental health and wellbeing of all employees through workplace practices.

KCU believes that the mental health and wellbeing of our staff is key to organisational success and sustainability.

KCU aims to:

•Build and maintain a workplace environment and culture that supports mental health and wellbeing and prevents discrimination (including bullying and harassment).
•Increase employee knowledge and awareness of mental health and wellbeing issues and behaviours.
•Reduce stigma around depression and anxiety in the workplace.
•Facilitate employees’ active participation in a range of initiatives that support mental health and wellbeing.

As such KCU employees have been fortunate enough to attend and complete Nationally Accredited Mental Health First Aid Training which provides our employees with practical skills needed to support someone experiencing a mental health problem, experiencing a worsening of an existing mental health problem or in a mental health crisis until appropriate professional help is received or the crisis resolves.
