Incolink Assist
Your bespoke Employee Assistance Program. Built by Incolink, experts in well being.
Incolink Assist is the employee assistance program designed and built for Australia’s construction and manufacturing industry. Our Employee Assistance program helps you help your staff.
How does Incolink Assist work?
Incolink will create a personalised corporate landing page, with your branding, for staff to access information about the service. You’ll also be provided with your company’s own 1300 number to allow workers to access phone or skype counselling service.
It can form a key part of your work to promote a mentally healthy workplace so that people can realise their potential while coping with the ordinary challenges of life.
You can choose how many sessions your staff will be eligible to access under this service.
Why engage an Employee Assistance Service?
Mental health conditions cost Australian workplaces $10.9 billion each year – more than any physical injury. One in five Australians will experience a poor mental health episode in any one year.
The stress can be sudden, or build over time, and impact the employee’s wellbeing and performance.
The construction and manufacturing industry is a highpressure environment and providing access to an Employee Assistance Program that understands the industry, whilst offering a wide range of specialist counselling services can contribute to them being an employer of choice. This in turn increases employee satisfaction and retention.
Early intervention and easy access to treatment can reduce the duration of a mental health episode and enable an employee to participate more fully in the workplace. There are three offerings. You can choose one, two or all three.
Phone / Skype Counselling
Counselling sessions with a trained counsellor. Face to face sessions are available at Incolink’s Carlton (Victoria) office. Visits to your office can be arranged at fee for service.
Critical Incident Support
A trained counsellor to visit your office immediately after a critical incident to speak with staff and allow them to debrief
Psych-Ed Training Sessions
Mental health awareness sessions designed to increase your people’s ability to recognise risks to their mental health. They can cover a range of topics from anxiety to stress to addiction. These are conducted on your premises.
What does it cost?
Phone/Skype Counselling Support Face to face at Incolink Office (extra charges apply for counselling on employer premises)
Critical Incident Support
Psych Ed – Training Sessions $150 per session
$450 per hour (1 counsellor) at Employer offices

Is there a minimum spend?
One of the advantages of Incolink Assist is that you pay for the services you use. There’s no minimum spends per month.
How are you billed?
Each month you’ll receive an invoice for the previous month’s number of sessions. Contact us
What reporting do you receive?
Incolink respects the confidentiality of its service but realises employers require meaningful reporting to track their spend and the value their employees are receiving.
Having your own landing page and 1300 number means we can track calls and site visits and we will report against these. Your invoice also indicates how many sessions have been used by your staff.
A quarterly newsletter will be provided that provides meaningful reporting indicating the trends we’re seeing across the service, demographic date, types of issues - be
they workplace, personal relationship issues, financial.
SHANDYING...
YOU WOULDN’T STAND FOR IT WITH YOUR BEER… SO WHY STAND FOR IT WITH YOUR STEEL?
Are you getting what you ordered? (and what you PAID for?) Does ALL of the steel you’re receiving comply with the right Standards?
The problem of mixed supply (or as it’s more commonly known, ‘shandying’) can have serious consequences – even if you’re specifying construction steels to meet Australian and New Zealand Standards.
Shandying can occur when conforming supply is ordered, but only a portion of the product supplied is sourced from ACRS Certified suppliers (and the rest is sourced from somewhere else). Using non ACRS Certified steel can leave you with non-compliant construction steel... and the risks that come with that.
By providing effective continuous review of both the manufacturer and the fabricator/processor, ACRS 2-stage steel certification scheme and the new ACRS traceability scheme play a major role in reducing the risk of shandying on your project.
