Health and Wellbeing Support

At Saltbush Training, we recognise that wellbeing is key to learning success. That’s why the health, safety and wellbeing of our students is a core priority.

We know personal challenges can sometimes make you feel overwhelmed or unsafe and we are committed to providing a safe, respectful and supportive learning environment where you can ask for help without hesitation.

We take all concerns about bullying, harassment or unsafe behaviour seriously and will act promptly to address them.

If anything is affecting your wellbeing during your studies, please contact our Training Team on (08) 7915 7001 or email .

Your wellbeing is important to us, and we’re here to support you throughout your training journey.
