About Julie Vigor
I have spent more than two decades working with people across education, training and community settings. Again and again, I have seen what changes when people feel genuinely seen, heard and valued.
My work has taken me from kindergartens and schools to TAFE, community halls and a men's prison. The settings changed, but the human need underneath them did not.
People contribute more honestly when they feel respected and included. They communicate more clearly when there is trust. They are more willing to take the next step when someone sees the person behind the role. And their general mental health improves.
That experience shaped my work as a speaker, trainer and coach and led me to create practical frameworks for workplace connection, personal brand and small daily acts of recognition.

Workplace Mental Health Safety... it is now the law!
Psychosocial safety is no longer a future compliance issue. It is already a legal duty across Australia. It is now a legal requirement for businesses and employers to identify and manage psychosocial risks. Waiting for a complaint, claim or regulator investigation is waiting too long.
Serious mental health claims have risen by almost 170% over the past decade. The median compensation payment is now $68,600 - more than four times that of other serious claims.
Training matters, but it cannot stand alone. Organisations also need genuine leadership commitment, effective risk controls and a workplace culture where people feel safe to speak up.
As a certified Mental Health First Aid instructor, Julie Vigor helps leaders and teams recognise concerns earlier, strengthen workplace conversations and build a more connected, supportive and psychologically safe culture.
