Employee Assistance Program

Enhancing workplace well-being

RA Tas offers a suite of fee-for-service programs which includes the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), external counselling, sporting club well-being support and Personal Development and Professional Supervision.

In July 2022, the RA Tas Board approved the release of seed funding to restructure our fee-for-service programs, and as a result, these programs were merged into the Employee Assistance Program (EAP).

The RA Tas EAP offers individual counselling, supervision, workplace mediation, trauma debriefing support, workplace well-being consulting and workplace training to over 70 Tasmanian businesses across Hobart, Launceston and Devonport. This program can be accessed in-person at our offices, by telephone and video, or at outreach locations upon request.

Multiple achievements have happened in the past year. We recruited dedicated EAP practitioners who can deliver counselling and workplace mediation, we have delivered a range of training packages and work closely with businesses to support their well-being goals.

We have implemented a new service evaluation model, providing insights into client satisfaction. The initial evaluations showed an overwhelmingly positive client experience, with an average satisfaction rate ranging from 99.2% to 100%. Here are some client feedback statements:

Practical and useful tools and strategies to assist with the current stressors at work.

Thank you, this is the beginning of positive change.

Another accomplishment involved creating a variety of marketing materials with a new branding identity, showcasing a logo and tagline, “People Matter”, which aligns with RA Tas’ core values.

During the first year, we successfully sustained and started to expand interest in our local services. Moving forward, our strategy involves implementing a targeted marketing campaign to support businesses to provide well-being and psychosocial support to their employees. We will also continue to develop and trial new fee for service initiatives.
