About one in five Australian adults will experience some form of common mental health problem in any one year. It is likely therefore that as an employer you will employ someone with a mental health problem reasonably frequently.

- a greater understanding of mental illness
- skills and confidence to talk to a colleague about mental illness
- information and strategies on how people with mental illness can be supported and the wider community
- information on providing first aid for a mental health problem when it occurs.
