About IncludeEd

Expert Training in Mental Health First Aid

IncludeEd was created to make Mental Health First Aid training accessible to as many people as possible.

By providing high quality online and in-person training to organisations throughout Australia, we are able to subsidise courses for not-for-profit community groups and neighbourhood organisations. This means that when you choose IncludeEd to support you in creating a mentally healthy workplace, you are also supporting communities around Tasmania.
