Mental health awareness flyer for a workplace week
A workplace mental health awareness flyer works when it gives people something to do this week, not just something to feel: a time and place, a question they can ask, and a number to call. These three designs for the people team at Palletwren Logistics, a fictional depot business, run a mental health week from Monday 12 to Friday 16 October 2026 with a daily activities table, three conversation starters, manager drop in times, the employee assistance program number and national support lines.
The 3 designs
The same business laid out three ways, on three templates and three colour themes. Every price, name and time on these was written for this example, so you can judge the layouts on real content rather than placeholder text.

The three designs
The week announcement design is bold: a blue header with "ASK THE QUESTION THIS WEEK", then three rows for when, where and who it is for, and the EAP number in the footer. Pin it at the time clock and in the crew room the week before. The activities design is a lavender table of the five days with the activity, time and place, a caption with the 24 hour support lines, and a panel pairing three ways to ask with three phone numbers. Put it in toilets and break rooms, where people read it alone. The photo design is calm: two colleagues talking over coffee in a break room, "Ask the question this week", three steps (ask, listen, call the EAP) and the 000 line, for the staff newsletter and Teams.
What this flyer must carry
The dates and the activities with times and places, who the week is for, at least one concrete thing people can do, the employee assistance program number with how to reach it, national support lines, and an emergency line. Under the work health and safety laws, employers must manage psychosocial hazards, and Safe Work Australia's guidance treats awareness activities as one part of that, alongside fixing the causes of stress. Print real support numbers exactly: Lifeline is 13 11 14 and Beyond Blue is 1300 22 4636. R U OK? Day, run by the R U OK? charity, is the second Thursday of September; an October week can sit around World Mental Health Day on 10 October.
How to adapt this flyer
For an office team, swap the shift change times for lunchtime sessions and add an online session for remote staff. For a construction site, run the toolbox talk on two mornings and add the industry's own support line beside the EAP. For a school staffroom, replace the barbecue with a staff morning tea, and keep the manager drop in as a principal's open door hour.
What makes these work
Every day has a time and a place
The activities design gives each day of the week a row: the launch morning tea at 6am and 2pm in the crew room, a walk and talk lap of the yard at 12pm, manager drop in from 10am to 12pm in meeting room 2. Shift workers can see which activity fits their roster, which a general "it's mental health week" poster never tells them.
The question is written out for them
"How are you going, really?", "You seem quieter lately. All OK?" and "Want to grab a coffee and talk?" are printed as three ways to ask. Most people do not avoid the conversation because they do not care; they avoid it because they do not know the first line. The flyer gives them three.
Help is on every design
The EAP number appears on all three designs, the activities design adds Lifeline and Beyond Blue, and the photo design ends with "In danger now? Call 000". Someone who reads the flyer at 3am after a bad shift finds a number to ring without having to ask anyone at work.
Questions people ask
What should a workplace mental health flyer include?
Dates, times and places for activities, the employee assistance program number, national support lines and an emergency line. One practical action, such as how to ask a colleague how they are, is more useful than general statistics. Keep the tone plain and avoid clinical language; the flyer is an invitation, not an assessment.
Can we use the R U OK? name on our flyer?
R U OK? is a registered charity with its own brand, and its day falls on the second Thursday of September. You can mention that your week supports its message, and its website has free resources. Avoid making your flyer look like an official R U OK? item unless you are using their own materials, unchanged.
Should the EAP number be on every design?
Yes. Each design will be seen in a different place, and the person who most needs the number may only see one of them. Palletwren prints 1800 975 707 on all three, with "free and confidential" or "any time" beside it, which answers the two questions that stop people calling.
Where should the flyers go in a depot or warehouse?
Next to the time clock, in the crew room, in toilets and change rooms, and on the back of the canteen door. Toilets and change rooms matter because people read a support number there without being watched. Send the photo design in the staff newsletter or team chat for office and remote staff.
Does the activities table work as a phone screen?
The activities design has a native Instagram Story layout at 1080 by 1920 pixels, which fits a phone screen, and the extra height keeps the five rows readable. Export it as PNG and post it in the team chat on Monday morning. The builder exports PNG or JPG at twice the canvas size, so it stays sharp when zoomed.

Blood drive flyer with session times and eligibility
A blood drive flyer has to turn goodwill into a booked chair, so it needs the date and times, a quick check of who can give, and how to book. These three designs for Gumleaf Grove Community Centre, a fictional centre in Penrith NSW hosting a mobile donor day on Wednesday 18 November 2026, give the 9am to 3pm session, Lifeblood's basic eligibility (aged 18 to 75, healthy, over 50 kg), what to eat and drink beforehand, the booking line and that walk ins are welcome if a chair is free.
First aid course flyer with dates, price and the unit code
A first aid course flyer is read by people who need a certificate for work by a date, so it must show the exact unit, the price and the next dates before anything else. These three designs for Pulsereef First Aid Training, a fictional provider on Grafton Street in Cairns QLD, print HLTAID011 Provide First Aid in one day for $145, HLTAID009 CPR only for $65, seven dated sessions to December 2026, group rates of $125 a person and the RTO code.
Medical centre flyer for a new practice and its bulk billing policy
A new medical centre flyer has to answer the two questions every household asks about a GP: can I get in, and will I pay anything. These three designs for Kingfern Medical Centre, a fictional new practice on East Street in Rockhampton QLD, say it is taking new patients and state the billing policy exactly: every GP consultation is bulk billed for patients with a valid Medicare card, and a standard visit is $95 without one. They also list the three GPs, the hours, on site pathology and online booking.
