Introducing Australia’s First Platform for Wellbeing in Hospitality for Leaders

Welcome to the Pilot Program!

Thank you for joining the Wellbeing in Hospitality for Leaders – Pilot Program! We’re thrilled to have you as part of this important journey toward creating mentally healthy workplaces in hospitality.

About the Toolkit

Healthy Mind Menu, in collaboration with researchers from Edith Cowan University (ECU), is developing Australia’s first platform to support mental health and wellbeing for hospitality professionals. This toolkit is filled with resources to help hospitality leaders and employees take action toward building a mentally healthy work environment.

Why Hospitality?

Hospitality is one of Australia’s largest and most demanding industries, with unique mental health challenges due to its fast pace, irregular hours, and often high-stress environment. This toolkit aims to address these challenges and create lasting, positive change across the industry.
