Gatekeeper Training.

Building capability to recognise and respond to people in crisis.

Gatekeeper Training equips individuals and organisations with the skills to identify, support, and refer people who may be at risk of suicide or severe distress.

Recognised as a core component of Australia’s national suicide prevention framework, Gatekeeper Training plays a vital role in building safer, more supportive workplaces — particularly in high-risk sectors such as mining, construction, transport, and emergency services.

What is gatekeeper training?

Why invest in gatekeeper training

Psychological distress continues to impact Australian workplaces, especially those with high-pressure, male-dominated, or isolated workforces. Despite increased awareness, stigma & uncertainty around how to respond often prevent early intervention.

Gatekeeper training addresses these barriers by providing:

Practical tools

to recognise the warning signs of suicide or crisis

Communication skills

to open safe and supportive conversations

Strategies

to build mentally healthy and connected teams

Knowledge

of referral pathways and escalation procedures

By embedding this capability within the workforce, organisations build a proactive safety culture that supports people before a crisis occurs.

Our Program

Focuses on early identification, confident communication, and effective referral pathways, helping participants understand their role as a “gatekeeper” — someone who can make a meaningful difference by noticing the signs and taking the right steps.
