Before founding Core Health Consulting in 2007, Tammy Farrell spent 10 years working in intensive care and cardiac cath labs as a registered nurse. Working in those environments it was clear that many people simply didn’t understand how their bodies worked. Patients were arriving in intensive care after months of suffering symptoms that could have been managed much earlier. After the sudden death of a friend Tammy quit nursing and began educating people and businesses about health and wellness. Since then we’ve helped thousands of employees take action, seek help and regain their health through a range of health promotion programs that really work.

How’s ya prostate? Don’t worry, this won’t be on the next team meeting agenda.

I meet a lot of blokes who know plenty about their job, but couldn’t tell me what their prostate does or why it matters. That's a problem when prostate cancer is the most common in Australian men affecting approximately one in every 5.

The prostate is a small gland that sits just below the bladder and wraps around the urethra. It plays a key role in urinary and reproductive health.

As men get older, the prostate naturally changes. Some changes are harmless. Others are not. The issue is that many men wait until something feels wrong before paying attention.

What’s one simple action you could take today to be more informed about your health?

Mental health training feels clear on the day. But what happens six month later?

One-off training does not equal WHS compliance or confidence when real situations happen.

Under Australian WHS laws, organisations have a duty to identify and manage psychosocial hazards such as workload, fatigue, bullying and poor support.

Ongoing Mental Health First Aid training helps demonstrate that reasonably practicable steps are being taken to reduce risk, protect workers and support early intervention.

2026 Mental Health First Aid training Australia program dates are now open.

How is your organisation building real workplace mental health safety?

23/01/2026

Mental health training gives your team confidence when it matters most.

Mental Health First Aid gives teams the skills to recognise early signs, respond appropriately and reduce risk before issues escalate.

It supports individuals and strengthens compliance at the same time.

What is FIFO Ma8? It’s Core Health’s new three-year program built to keep every worker safe - from the site office to the workshop.

Whether your team flies in, drives in, or moves about between locations, FIFO Ma8 gives every person the skills and support to stay healthy, connected and compliant under the psychosocial legislation code.

It combines:

🔸Mental Health First Aid Training – so everyone can recognise when a mate’s not ok.

🔸Resilience First Aid Responder Training – to strengthen teams before stress turns into crisis.

🔸Fatigue Management Training – to prevent errors, burnout and injury.

🔸Peer Support Sessions – regular, real-talk check-ins that sustain culture, not just tick compliance boxes.

FIFO Ma8 creates safer, stronger workplaces where wellbeing is part of the job, not an optional extra.

The program officially launches in 2026 and is open to all workers, leaders and crews across Australia.

How could your crew benefit from a culture where every worker has a Ma8 looking out for them?

I meet a lot of blokes who live with urinary changes, pelvic pain, or sexual symptoms for years without asking questions.

Often because they assume it’s normal. Or awkward. Or not serious.

Here’s the reality. Not every prostate issue is cancer. But every prostate issue deserves attention.

Prostatitis, benign enlargement and prostatodynia are common and usually manageable. Prostate cancer is different. It can develop quietly, without pain or obvious warning signs.

Silence is what makes it dangerous.

Waiting for symptoms is not a strategy. Knowing your risk factors and getting checked early gives you control.

If this post made you pause, take one step today. Book a GP appointment or start a conversation with someone you care about.

FIFO Ma8 is more than a course. It’s a complete wellbeing and safety framework designed for the people who keep Australia moving: those who Fly In Fly Out, Drive In Drive Out or Move About for work.

Across three years, FIFO Ma8 brings together:

🔸Mental Health First Aid Training – so every team has people who can recognise and respond early.

🔸Resilience First Aid Responder Training – to build confidence, composure and peer-support skills.

🔸Fatigue Management Sessions – practical education to keep people alert, focused and fit for duty.

🔸Peer Support Sessions – the regular check-ins that keep conversations alive long after the training ends.

It’s long-term by design, helping organisations meet their psychosocial obligations while building genuine culture change. Safety isn’t just physical - it’s mental, emotional and social too.

The FIFO Ma8 Program officially kicks off in 2026 with public and in-house delivery options available now.

What would shift in your workplace if every worker had a mate trained to keep them safe - in every sense of the word?

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian men.The tricky part is that prostate cancer can show no signs early, but prostate ill health often does, and that’s what makes it worth paying attention to.

Below is a list of symptoms that can be caused by non-cancerous conditions, but only a GP can confirm what is going on.

⮕ Difficulty starting or stopping urine
⮕ Frequent urination or urgency
⮕ Painful urination or ej*******on
⮕ Blood in urine or semen
⮕ Erectile issues or reduced libido
⮕ Pelvic, hip or lower back pain

Getting checked is not about panic. It’s about certainty.

What’s one small health check you have been putting off that you can book this week?

Under the new WHS code, fatigue, bullying, overwork and poor role clarity are now compliance issues, not personal struggles.

FIFO M8 is built for that shift.

Coming soon…

13/01/2026

Most people do not wake up thinking about their prostate. It sits quietly in the background of daily life, doing its job without noise or drama, until something changes.

Yet prostate cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in Australian men.

This is why I care so deeply about health literacy. When the body is explained clearly and without fear, people are more willing to notice small changes and respond early, rather than waiting for certainty that arrives too late.

What would informed action look like for you right now?

11/01/2026

Psychosocial compliance is no longer optional. For FIFO, DIDO and move-about workers, isolation, fatigue and stress aren’t just “part of the job”, they’re recognised workplace hazards under WHS law.

The question isn’t if you’ll address them. It’s how.

Most men assume prostate problems are obvious, painful and hard to ignore. That assumption is where the risk sits.

There are four common prostate conditions I talk about in my work.

Three are uncomfortable, disruptive, or frustrating. One can be silent for years, but is actually deadly.

➤ Prostatitis
Painful inflammation, often treatable.

➤ Benign enlargement
Common with age, slowly affects urine flow.

➤ Prostatodynia
Chronic pelvic pain, more common in younger men.

➤ Prostate cancer
Often no symptoms early. Potentially life-threatening.

Prostate cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in Australian men.

The issue with it is not discomfort. It’s delay.

I see too many men wait for something to feel wrong, when earlier checks would have meant more options and better outcomes. Small conversations matter, especially the ones you have with yourself.

What’s one practical step you can take this month to stay informed about your health?

08/01/2026

Long shifts. Heavy loads. High pressure.
Compliance now demands action that protects every mate on the job.
