EAP (Employee Assistance Program) provides confidential, short-term counselling and advice for your employees and their immediate family members. EAP is employee assistance counselling which can be utilised for any personal or work-related issues impacting employee well-being.









When something is weighing on one of your people, it follows them to work. Actevate's EAP provides confidential, short-term counselling and practical support for employees and their immediate family members.
Our counsellors help people clarify what's going on, build practical strategies and reconnect with the resources they need to move forward, whether the issue started at work or at home. Common reasons people use our EAP include:
Mental health claims take longer, cost more and are harder to recover from than physical injuries. Under WHS law, employers carry the same duty to prevent psychological harm as physical harm. A well-run EAP is one of the most practical supports you can put in place.

Our evidence-based training packages in Mental Health aim to minimise risks associated with mental health issues at work such as costs, productivity, presenteeism and absenteeism.

Our mediators act as neutral third-party coaches encouraging those in dispute to resolve the nature of the conflict and build enduring mechanisms to help all parties move forward with grace.

Specialised support helping team members manage their physical and emotional reactions resulting from exposure to crisis situations, including fatalities, work accidents, and/or unexpected events.
Under Australian work health and safety law, employers must manage psychosocial hazards with the same rigour as physical risks.
WHS laws and the Fair Work Act both place a duty on employers to protect their staff's mental health, and an Employee Assistance Program is one of the clearest ways to show that duty is being met. An EAP is not a substitute for managing hazards at the source, but it is one of the practical controls regulators expect to see.
An EAP demonstrates that psychological risks are being actively managed and gives leadership a way to act early. Frontline leaders aren't clinicians. An EAP gives them a clear, professional referral path so they can support their people without carrying risk they're not equipped to hold.
We do not rely on a one-size-fits-all model. Our team unites psychologists, social workers, counsellors, and occupational therapists to tackle diverse challenges. Every single clinician holds verified tertiary qualifications and complete registration with their relevant professional body. We train our specialists to deliver safe, practical solutions that protect your staff both in their private lives and their professional careers.
Our strict onboarding means your business is backed by vetted, highly accountable experts who excel in high-stakes environments.
An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a confidential counselling and support service your organisation provides to employees and their immediate family members. Actevate's EAP connects people with a qualified psychologist or rehabilitation counsellor for short-term support with personal or work-related issues, from stress and burnout to grief, conflict, financial pressure and critical incidents.
Every session is delivered by a degree-qualified psychologist or rehabilitation counsellor, not a call centre or an app. Because Actevate is also an approved workplace rehabilitation provider, our clinicians understand WHS obligations and the workers compensation system, so if an issue is heading towards a claim we can step in early. You also get a Manager Assistance Program for your leaders and de-identified utilisation reporting so you can see the program is working.
EAP is short-term, solution-focused support. Most people use between one and six sessions per issue, depending on what they are working through. If someone needs longer-term care, our clinicians will help them connect with the right ongoing support, such as their GP or a treating psychologist, so nobody is left without a next step.
Employees can choose how they access support. Sessions are available by phone, video or face to face at one of our locations, and we match people with a clinician suited to their situation. If an employee would prefer a different clinician, we will arrange it. Confidentiality is absolute: your organisation never learns who has used the service or what was discussed.
Actevate delivers EAP to organisations of every size across Australia, from small businesses to national employers in healthcare, aged care, construction, transport, manufacturing, government, emergency services and corporate environments. Programs are scaled to your headcount and tailored to the risks your people actually face.
Call 1300 663 155 or complete the enquiry form on this page and an EAP specialist will call you back within one business day. We will talk through your workforce, locations and any existing wellbeing supports, then send a proposal. Most programs are live within two weeks, including launch communications to help your people know the service is there.
We fit around the way you already work. Your EAP can sit alongside your existing HR, WHS and injury management processes, and our team can coordinate with your insurer, broker and internal stakeholders where appropriate. If you also use Actevate for return to work, mental health training or pre-employment assessments, one provider covers the full picture and nothing falls between the cracks.
You receive de-identified utilisation reports showing how many people are using the service, the broad categories of issues presenting, and how usage is trending across teams or sites. This helps you spot pressure points in your workforce early and demonstrate to regulators that psychosocial risks are being actively managed, without ever compromising an individual's privacy.
"At Actevate, we integrate into your wellbeing strategy. Our premium Employee Assistance Program (EAP) connects your team to a vast, high-quality clinical network to deliver personalised care on demand. We protect employee privacy fiercely. As such, we always follow confidentiality guidelines."
