Resources to support students’ mental health and wellbeing
The Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR) has created a suite of free resources to help RTOs support student mental health and wellbeing in the VET sector. Developed in partnership with Dandolo Partners and Orygen, these include a practical guide for trainers and assessors on recognising early warning signs of mental ill-health and how to respond, alongside information and referral guidance staff can use in conversations with students. The resources sit alongside the 2025 Standards for RTOs and are a useful starting point for any provider building their capability in this area. (January 2026)
