Simple EAP support for small businesses
A staff member flags something serious and you're the one who has to deal with it, without training, without backup, without knowing if you're handling it right.
Most small businesses have either no EAP or one their staff never use because its just a 1800 number.
Foremind is an EAP designed for small business realities.
Give your staff anonymous access to same-day counselling, and get audit-ready compliance documentation - without adding to your workload.
How it works
Foremind gives small businesses EAP support and psychosocial compliance in one place, no HR team required.

Why Foremind for your small business EAP?
Small business owners want to give staff support they'll actually use, without paying a price built for a company ten times their size.
But most EAPs give you neither. Just a generic hotline no one uses, or counselling with no cover for your psychosocial safety obligations.
Foremind does both, in one platform - support your staff will actually use, and your obligations covered, without needing a HR team to run it.

It is an absolute win for our industry that Foremind are advocating, leading and delivering a much needed service. What is even better is that they do it meaningfully and with passion
Fiona Parson
Owner, Spotted Frog Kindergarten
I've noticed that the team's morale has been at an all-time high this year, and I think a lot of that has come from having a service like Foremind in place.
Georgina Byron
CEO at The Snow Foundation
Foremind’s work is inspirational. We are all interested in improving positive mindsets and wellbeing.. and workers don’t always have the opportunity to have that wellbeing check in. There’s not that culture of putting your hand up and saying you’re not okay.
Phil Cameron
Area Environmental Managing Director
Ive been able to visibly notice a change in energy and productivity in the office since engaging Foremind, the onboarding and initial training were so fantastic we decided to do it quarterly.
George Chukwukezie
HR Manager, Vacenti
“Having the ability to provide support for our staff has been really beneficial. The feedback we always hear is how easy it is to book a session. They can go in, look at who is available and book it in quickly. It's been really great.”— George, Vacenti

What small businesses ask us
Still not sure if it's right for your needs? Book a 20-minute call and we'll answer everything.
With Foremind we remove as many barriers possible that blocks EAP uptake. We avoid traditional EAP limitations like no business hours only sessions or call centre counsellors who've never worked in your industry. Staff can book in 60 seconds on a schedule that suits them without manager approval, choose who they talk to, and speak within 24 hours.
Pricing is based on your team size with an annual plan. Most construction businesses find it comparable to - or less than - what they're already spending on an EAP nobody calls. And when you factor in the cost of a single WorkCover claim or psychosocial incident, it's less a wellbeing expense and more a compliance infrastructure investment. Jump on a call and we'll walk you through what makes sense for your business.
Most status quo EAPs don't work for high-incident industries. Low utilisation, phone-only access, and offshore counsellors who don't understand the industry are the most common complaints we hear. Foremind makes mental health support for your staff significantly easier, and it's why we see higher utilisation rates than other EAP providers.
Foremind combines same-day access, anonymous check-ins, and Australian counsellors with built-in psychosocial compliance documentation - something a traditional EAP doesn't cover at all.
Foremind documents your psychosocial risk assessments, incidents, and controls in one place, giving you a clear record of the reasonable steps you've taken. Whether that satisfies an audit depends on how consistently your team uses it, but if you're logging hazards, running check-ins, and actioning controls through the platform, you'll have the evidence trail you need.
