IMPORTANT (please read carefully before booking):

Please book using your personal email and mobile number - this is used to create your profile on Mental Health First Aid Australia's platform. Shared email accounts are not permitted. If, over time, you lose access to the email account you registered with (i.e. work email), you will also lose access to your Mental Health First Aid account.
After your booking has been finalised, you will be contacted via email with further instructions to access your Mental Health First Aid account dashboard and eLearning modules.
Please note, you MUST complete component 1 eLearning before you can attend the Zoom sessions. Links will not be sent until this is done.
Zoom sessions:
- It is a training compliance requirement that the instructor must see your video on throughout the entire session. No moving around/changing locations/shifting backgrounds while in session.
- You will be doing role-play scenarios, so make sure you join the sessions from a stationary, private and quiet location with no background noises/distractions.
- Please ensure you use a computer/laptop with a working webcam for the Zoom sessions. If you must use a mobile device, please ensure to have your phone set sideways (landscape orientation) on a stable surface. You MUST NOT move around with your device while in session.
- Join at least 15-30 minutes earlier for technical testing. The instructor is usually logged on 30 minutes prior. Sessions start on time. Participants who join late or cannot have video and sound on by the start time will be excluded from the session, and marked as absent.
Re-sitting fee applies if you miss your booked sessions, as numbers are limited and you have taken a booking. For online delivery, you must attend both Zoom sessions booked. Exceptions will only occur for extenuating circumstances, such as illness, bereavement etc.
The instructor may postpone the course to a later date if the minimum number of participants required has not been met.
Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.
