For consultants who deliver SafeMinds, Better Work®, and for organisations building internal capability in psychosocial safety governance.
SafeMinds, Better Work® is a structured maturity system. Delivering it requires understanding of how the framework operates, how maturity is assessed, and how governance evidence is produced.

Partners can help with
Not every organisation needs an external delivery partner. Some want to build the internal expertise to run their own SafeMinds™ programme. The Academy supports this through the same accreditation pathway.
Internal practitioners, whether from HR, risk, WHS, or safety functions, can complete the accreditation and become the in-house lead for the programme. This is particularly common in larger organisations where sustained programme management is handled internally.
Internal accreditation does not change the framework or the independence of the SafeMinds™ Index assessment. SafeMinds retains accountability for framework integrity and quality assurance regardless of who manages delivery.
