Helping You Care for Your People
Introducing Responder Care
Responder Care Founder, Paul McFarlane, is a nationally recognised leader in emergency services, spiritual care, and workplace wellbeing.
With over three decades of experience across healthcare, chaplaincy, and mental health leadership, Paul now brings this expertise to Australian businesses and first responder organisations through his consultancy role at Responder Care.
Paul’s approach to workplace wellbeing draws on his frontline pastoral experience and prioritises people-centred, relatable models of care.
Workplace wellbeing doesn’t need to be clinical or complicated - practical strategies can bring out the best in your team, are cost-effective, and can be easily implemented by people leaders and business owners.


“I’ve walked alongside first responders through some of Australia’s toughest moments. I bring that same care and insight to help you support your people.”
Helping you Care for Your Business
Running a business today can feel like a never-ending balancing act - juggling day-to-day operations, supporting your team, and trying to stay one step ahead. There’s barely time to catch your breath.
And when a staff member is struggling, especially with mental health challenges, the responsibility often lands on you. You care about your people, but when they’re not okay, it starts to take a toll on you too.
The stress creeps in after hours. It’s harder to switch off, harder to recharge, and you may find yourself wondering how long you can keep it all going.
