The Wellness Workshop
Engaging employee wellbeing programs for today's modern workforce
Award winning and relatable evidence-based workshops and wellbeing programs designed to cultivate happy, motivated and productive employees.
Create a positive, productive and safe workplace with a passionate award winning Australian provider.
Discover a fresh, real-world approach to employee wellbeing with a Wellbeing Program that equips staff with practical tools and strategies to succeed both professionally and personally, while supporting employers to provide a physically and psychosocially safe workplace that exceeds business objectives.
A wellbeing provider built from lived experience
Our story didn't start in a boardroom —
"it started in the hardest years of my life."
The Wellness Workshop was founded by Melani De Sousa, an Australian Mental Health Ambassador who overcame five mental illnesses over 20 years. She made a promise to herself: that when she reached the other side, she would help others find a way through too.
Today, that promise is the foundation of every program we deliver. We combine evidence-based strategies with real, lived understanding — creating workplace wellbeing that feels human, relatable, and genuinely supportive.
We don’t just teach mental health. We’ve lived it, we honour it, and we help organisations build environments where people feel psychologically safe, understood, and able to do their best work.
Workshops
1, 2 and 3 hour virtual or onsite workplace wellbeing workshops that build employee capability, improve mental health, and support higher performance and staff retention.
Employee
Assistance Program
Access Australia’s best Employee Assistance Program with 10× higher uptake than the national average. Support your team with a locally owned and run provider offering counselling, coaching, workplace training and wellbeing support across eight key areas. More than an assistance program, it’s a people-first system your employees will actually use.
