E-Mental Health in Practice (eMHPrac) is a support service funded by the Australian Government to build digital mental health awareness and skills in health and wellbeing workers across the country. eMHPrac’s developed the WellMob website that is a workforce tool to bring together online social and emotional wellbeing (SEWB) resources for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

The WellMob website is this country’s first online library of over 300 videos, apps, podcasts and other websites on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander SEWB. It’s been designed to help our diverse health and well-being workforce to find and share online well-being resources with our mob. This includes school counsellors, youth workers, family support, AOD and NDIS workers, GPs, psychologists and other allied health professionals.
The website layout and content are centred around a holistic model of Indigenous SEWB. It recognizes that our connection to country, culture, community, and kin is instrumental in our well-being and differentiates WellMob from more mainstream mental health websites.

The WellMob website has made it easy for workers and mob to find culturally relevant online resources that support our mental health and well-being. The WellMob team will present on the website demonstrating its functionality, showcasing some deadly resources and illustrate examples of how frontline workers and other health professionals can use it in their work.

The website was co-designed with frontline Aboriginal health workers. The website development process also had Indigenous governance and leadership to ensure it was culturally safe and engaging, user-friendly and accessible for both workers and community users. The project was led by Indigenous staff at the University Centre of Rural Health (part of the University of Sydney) in collaboration with the Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet.
