How onboarding works
Most EAPs send a welcome email and leave you to it. With Foremind, we run an onboarding session with your team - walking through what the service is, what's covered, and how to get to it.
We work out the format with you depending on how your workforce is set up, whether that's one session, a few, or something that fits around shifts.
The aim is the same either way: nobody's left guessing.
We deal with stigma first

Most people don't use their EAP because asking doesn't feel acceptable at work.
Showing them the booking screen doesn't fix that.
So the session deals with it directly and honestly - what it looks like to struggle, and why using the service is a normal thing to do rather than an admission.
Once that's out of the way, the practical part actually lands.

Max Build, Head of People and Culture
I've been using Foremind as the EAP provider for +3 years now and have had a really positive experience. While they may be a smaller player compared to some of the larger global providers, the quality of service is absolutely comparable. The platform is intuitive, the support offering is strong, and the overall experience for employees has been consistently positive.

A modern & proactive view of mental health exists that is refreshing to see. Great resources exist on their platform & informative & practical webinars are offered that always hit the mark. Also, easy to deal with in a way that feels like a partnership not a provider/client relationship.

Foremind has been easy to navigate, both for our team and from an admin perspective. It's simple to onboard new team members quickly and efficientl. Those who have used the platform have been very positive - calling out how useful it is and how easy it is to access and engage with the support available.
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.
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.

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.

The counselling service has been amazing, and our employees have been super impressed by their sessions
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.
Everyone leaves knowing how to book
The rest of the session is the how: registering, browsing counsellor profiles, picking someone, booking a time that fits around a roster.
Then you get collateral built for your workforce rather than generic HR templates - posters, cards and digital assets that suit your site and your people.
That's what keeps Foremind in front of staff weeks later, when someone actually needs it.
Ongoing support after launch
You'll have a dedicated person at Foremind, not a support inbox. They check in regularly, look at your utilisation data alongside you, and tell you what it's showing - which sites are engaging, which aren't, and what usually shifts it.
If uptake is low somewhere, we deal with it rather than waiting for you to raise it at renewal.
That's the difference between a service that gets used and one that sits there.
Why successful onbaording matters
Signing on an EAP nobody uses doesn't solve anything, and it's the most common complaint we hear about other providers.
That's why we take onboarding seriously, so your team knows how and where to access support from day one, and keeps using it well beyond that.
Book a demo and we'll show you exactly what Foremind can look like at your workplace.
A proper onboarding session
We take your team through the service instead of sending a link and hoping.
Collateral for your workforce
Materials made for your site and your people, so it stays visible afterwards.
A dedicated contact
Someone who reviews utilisation with you and flags issues before renewal.
Answers to the frequently asked questions.
Our last EAP was barely touched. Why would this be different?+
Most EAPs go unused because of how they're accessed, not because staff don't need them. Phoning a stranger, explaining yourself, then waiting weeks is enough to stop most people before they start. Foremind removes all three steps: staff see real counsellor profiles, pick someone themselves, and book the same day.
If you already have a provider, the question worth asking is what your current utilisation is. Most traditional EAPs sit in low single digits, which means you're paying for cover your people aren't reaching. If yours is being used, staff can get seen quickly, and it covers your psychosocial obligations, there's no reason to move. If not, it's worth knowing what you're getting for the spend.
Do you offer 24/7 support?+
Yes. A 24/7 after-hours crisis line means staff can reach someone immediately at any hour, including nights and weekends.
Counselling appointments are also available outside standard business hours, so shift-based and on-call teams aren't limited to a nine-to-five window. Those are two different things, and it's worth checking any provider offers both rather than just the crisis line.
Are your EAP counsellors based in Australia?+
Yes. Every practitioner on the platform holds current membership with an Australian professional body and practises under Australian standards, codes of ethics and disciplinary frameworks. There are no offshore call centres.
Practitioners hold membership with the Australian Counselling Association, the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia, or the Australian Association of Social Workers, along with a current Working with Children or Vulnerable People Check.
How much does an EAP cost?+
Pricing is usually per employee per month, based on total headcount rather than how many people use the service. Costs vary widely depending on whether sessions are bundled in and whether compliance tooling is included.
A more useful comparison is cost per employee who actually uses it. An EAP with 2% utilisation can work out several times more expensive per person helped than one that gets used. Foremind offers pay-as-you-go, inclusive session plans and compliance-inclusive plans, with discounted pricing for not-for-profits and charities.
For full breakdown of our plans, see our EAP pricing page or request a quote for a tailored proposal.
What information does an employer receive about EAP usage?+
Nothing that could identify anyone. All counselling is completely confidential and all reporting is anonymous - you'll never see who booked, when, or what was discussed.
What you do see is the aggregated picture: how many people are using it, what psychosocial risks are prevalent in the business, and which teams are under pressure. Enough to know the investment is working and where to act, never enough to identify a person. Reporting thresholds mean small teams can't be reverse-engineered from the data.
Does having an EAP meet an employer's psychosocial duty of care?+
No. An EAP is a control measure, and a valuable one, but it only addresses harm after it has occurred. It doesn't identify hazards, assess risk, or evidence that controls are working.
Australian WHS law requires you to identify psychosocial hazards, assess the risk, control it so far as is reasonably practicable, and review whether those controls are working — with documented evidence at each step. Offering counselling on its own leaves three of those four steps undocumented.
Foremind covers both in one platform. See how the compliance side works in our product tour.
