Employee Assistance Program
Remember than the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is available as a free, short-term, and strictly confidential counselling service that helps our employees be at their best. These sessions can be used to develop tailored strategies to help enhance wellbeing – both in and outside of work. The EAP is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for up to four sessions for the Department's employees (and school council employees such as casual relief teachers). Immediate family members of Department employees can also now access EAP. These services are provided by LifeWorks by Morneau Shepell which is an independent organisation experienced in delivering similar services in other workplaces. Staff can call LifeWorks directly on telephone number 1300 361 008 and make an appointment at a preferred time and location. For further information please visit:

LifeWorks Health and Wellbeing Online Platform
The LifeWorks Health and Wellbeing Online Platform is an online library of informative articles and interactive resources to improve employee health and wellbeing. It is available to all Department employees, immediate family members of department employees, and school council employees including Casual Relief Teachers. This new platform replaces the previously used ‘Livewell’ portal.
The platform has support, guidance, information and strategies to manage issues relating to family, health, life, money, and work. You can access this privately and confidentially from home.
