Nationally Recognised Training (NRT) Support – Psychosocial Risk Management

For graduates of the FIFO Focus 4-Day Program only. This program is not open to the general public.

Are you ready to gain formal recognition for your skills in psychosocial risk management?

Thanks to support from the MARS Program, FIFO Focus is offering exclusive virtual support workshops to help eligible participants prepare for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) aligned with the nationally recognised unit of competency:
BSBWHS512 – Contribute to managing work-related psychosocial risks.

What’s This About?

If you’ve completed the FIFO Focus 4-Day Psychosocial Risk Management Capability Enhancement Program, this program supports you to take the next step: obtaining formal recognition through RPL, issued by Industry Training Alliance (RTO #46181).

While RPL applications are submitted directly to the RTO, MARS funding covers the cost of our FIFO Focus-led preparation and support sessions, ensuring you have the best chance of success.

The Two-Part Format

Part A – Refresher (2 hrs)

Brush up on core concepts, recent regulatory changes, and current best practices.

Note: If you completed the 4-Day Program in the last 12 months, you may not need Part A, but you’re welcome to join.

Part B – RPL Preparation (2 hrs)

Understand the RPL process, know what evidence is needed, and begin building your portfolio with confidence.

Bonus: Following completion of Part B, each participant has the option of a 1 hour 1-on-1 coaching session to support individual submission needs.

Who Should Attend:

About FIFO Focus

FIFO Focus works to create psychologically healthier workplaces for FIFO workers. Our education and psychological support services are designed to help organisations manage psychosocial risks and develop mental resilience and wellbeing in the FIFO sector.

We design and support proactive interventions to limit psychosocial harm in remote work environments. We partner with employers to build internal capacity to build psychologically healthy workplaces and develop a more resilient workforce. We also offer education and support directly to individuals, including FIFO workers and their partners.

Developing mental resilience is one of the key mitigative factors for FIFO workers and their families. For FIFO employees, learning better ways to deal with day to day stresses and challenges or remote work can lead a more fulfilling and rewarding life.

Our registered psychologists and behavioural specialists use the latest research to create practical solutions and systems for happier, healthier FIFO workplaces and workers.
