Find out what’s actually happening on site
Workload pressure gets 'sorted' over Friday arvo beers. Blokes dealing with toxic culture show up Monday, saying they're fine.
Foremind gives construction teams fast access to counselling, not a 1800 number with a three-week wait, with industry-relevant counsellors, no stigma.
And, its the only EAP for construction that doubles as your psychosocial risk register. Identify, control and monitor safety across every site.
How it works
You already track physical safety. Foremind does the same for psychosocial hazards –
designed for risks people don't volunteer.
Why Foremind for your construction EAP?
Psychosocial risk is now a WHS requirement, same as any other hazard on site. You're expected to manage it, not just have a policy that mentions it.
Old-style EAPs weren't built for that. A phone number nobody rings doesn't help your crew, and it definitely doesn't help you meet the new requirements.
Foremind does both, in one platform. Real support your team will actually use, and the safety management that comes with it.
Less admin, and safety you're managing proactively

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 construction companies ask us
Still not sure if it's right for your needs? Book a 20-minute call and we'll answer everything.
Staff browse counsellor profiles with bios, photos, specialties, and cultural backgrounds - and choose who they want to speak to. Whether they need someone with lived experience, a specific cultural background, or expertise in trauma and care work, they pick the fit themselves. No being assigned to whoever's available.
We handle the setup. Once you're onboarded we provide everything you need to launch — communication templates, manager guides, and a dedicated account manager to make sure it lands. Most businesses are live within 48 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.
