Discuss a ProgramThe Resilience Academy | Health & High-Performance
The Resilience Academy helps organisations build healthier, more capable people who are better equipped to navigate workplace demands, challenges and psychosocial hazards.
When injury, illness, psychological harm or workplace disconnection has already occurred, we provide a structured pathway to help people rebuild their health, regain confidence and sustainably rejoin the workplace.
One medical model. Two distinct workforce pathways.
For currently working people your organisation wants to keep healthy, capable and performing.

Two Workforce Pathways
The Resilience Academy supports organisations at two distinct points in the workforce-health journey: building capacity in people who are currently working and restoring capacity when injury, illness or workplace harm has already occurred.
Build Capacity
Builds the physiological, psychological and behavioural resources people bring to occupational demands through assessment, education, smart technology, behaviour experiments and AI-enabled support.
Build the capacity people need before workplace pressure becomes workplace harm.Explore the 10-Day ProgramRestore Capacity
Helps participants make sense of what has happened, reconnect with what remains possible, rebuild their health and create a practical pathway back to sustainable workplace participation.
Help people return healthier, more confident and better equipped for the future.Explore the Return to Work ProgramIdentify, assess and control work-related psychosocial hazards through appropriate systems and work design.
Build health literacy, recovery strategies and personal systems for demanding work.
Support sustained energy, stronger engagement and healthier workplace participation.
Compliance is the starting point. Human capacity is the strategy. Sustainable performance is the outcome.
Psychosocial Compliance
Queensland's Managing the Risk of Psychosocial Hazards at Work Code of Practice 2022 provides practical guidance for preventing psychological and physical harm arising from work-related psychosocial hazards.
The Queensland Code applies in Queensland. Across Australia, corresponding duties operate through each jurisdiction's WHS or OHS framework, with differences in legislation, regulations, codes and terminology.
Organisations must identify and control hazards at their source. A policy, awareness session or individual resilience workshop does not, by itself, make an organisation compliant.
Organisational controls protect people. Individual capacity strengthens them.
The programs do not transfer responsibility for unsafe work onto the individual. The organisation remains responsible for eliminating or minimising psychosocial risks so far as is reasonably practicable.
Our Medical Model
Workplace stress does not affect the mind in isolation. It can influence sleep, fatigue, cardiovascular responses, blood-glucose regulation, inflammation, recovery, cognition and decision-making.
Resilience is built in the body before it is expressed through behaviour.
The legislation does not require every psychosocial program to be delivered by a doctor. The Resilience Academy's medical component is a technical and program-quality differentiator, not a claim of statutory necessity.
Build Capacity
The 10-Day Health Enhancement Program is a medically informed, technology-enabled workforce intervention designed to help people understand their health, build better daily systems and perform more sustainably at work and in life.
Gain clarity through objective assessment and medically informed interpretation.
Use real-time feedback to see how daily choices can affect the body.
Create simple, repeatable systems that support health, recovery, energy and focus.
Strengthen the foundations that support sustainable performance and quality of life.
Receive guided learning, check-ins, practical tools and approved AI-enabled support.

Five Differentiators
Visceral fat, skeletal muscle and body-composition information become visible and personally meaningful.
90% of pilot evaluation respondents rated this component Very or Extremely Valuable.Participants can observe how food, movement, sleep and stress relate to real-time glucose patterns.
97% of pilot evaluation respondents rated this component Very or Extremely Valuable.Medical and physiological expertise is built into program delivery rather than treated only as a downstream referral option.
97% of pilot evaluation respondents rated GP involvement Very or Extremely Valuable.Nutrition, sleep, movement, stress, mindset, learning and connection are presented as an interconnected system.
94% of pilot evaluation respondents reported building a daily health habit they intended to maintain.Approved AI-enabled tools extend learning beyond facilitated sessions and support personalised education and reflection.
Effectiveness percentages will be published only once a validated measure is available.Evidence
Three proof-of-concept pilot programs were delivered in Cairns, Queensland, during May and June 2026. A total of 53 participants completed the program, with 31 completing the immediate end-of-program evaluation.
Rated the program Very or Extremely Valuable.
Reported improved energy, focus, performance or resilience at work.
Reported building a daily health habit they intended to maintain.
Said they would recommend the program to a colleague.
These results are immediate post-program self-report findings from 31 respondents. They demonstrate program acceptability and perceived immediate impact but do not constitute a randomised controlled trial or proof of long-term clinical outcomes.
Restore Capacity
The 3-Day Return to Work Program supports people affected by injury, illness, psychological harm, workplace embitterment, disengagement, reduced confidence or extended absence.
Understand what has happened without becoming defined by it.
Shift attention towards health, values and a constructive future.
Rebuild the foundations of work capacity.
Create a practical pathway back to sustainable participation.
Our goal is to help people return healthier, more confident and better equipped than when they left.
The program is not a substitute for clinical treatment, statutory rehabilitation obligations, workers' compensation processes, workplace investigations or formal case management.

Facilitators
General Practitioner, Metabolic Health Specialist and Co-Director
Dr Wallin provides the clinical, metabolic and physiological foundation of the programs, helping participants understand stress, sleep, body composition, blood-glucose regulation, recovery and health.
Health and Performance Coach and Co-Director
Don combines operational and leadership experience with postgraduate expertise in resilience and high-performance strategies, translating science into practical systems for demanding workplaces.
Clinical credibility. Operational experience. Practical application.
Sectors
The model can be adapted to the operating environment, risk profile and workforce needs of different sectors.
Delivery Model
Programs can be configured for organisational cohorts, targeted workforce groups, regional delivery and sector-specific needs.
Whether your organisation wants to proactively strengthen workforce health or help people recover and reconnect following injury, illness or workplace harm, the Resilience Academy provides a medically informed and practical pathway forward.
