Our Story

At Fulcrum People, we have been leaders in Learning & Development for over 30 years, delivering self-assessment products, tailored training solutions, and leadership & management development across Australia and the Southeast Asia Pacific region. As the first private Registered Training Organisation (RTO) in South Australia, we have a proud history of innovation in vocational education and training.

As Leadership & Management specialists, we have trained thousands of leaders in nationally recognised qualifications over the years, equipping them with the skills to lead effectively in today’s dynamic workplaces. Our programs focus on communication, decision-making, resilience, and strategic thinking to develop confident and capable leaders.

We also recognise the growing importance of Mental Health First Aid (MHFA). With approximately 3,000 lives lost to suicide in Australia each year—around 9 people per day, men are 75% more likely to be affected, people in rural and regional areas are twice as likely, making mental health awareness more crucial than ever. MHFA training improves mental health literacy, reduces stigma, and empowers individuals to support those experiencing challenges, playing a vital role in suicide prevention and workplace well-being.

At Fulcrum People, we embrace an "earning the right" philosophy, investing time upfront to understand your needs—not as a billable exercise, but as a commitment to delivering real value.
Our Unique ApproachUnlike "Jack of all trades" RTOs, Fulcrum People focus exclusively on Leadership & Management and Mental Health First Aid (MHFA). This specialisation ensures that our training is highly relevant, deeply impactful, and tailored to real-world workplace needs.
Our approach is built on experiential learning, ensuring participants are engaged instead of “Chalk and talk” or “Death by PowerPoint” and gain practical, real-world skills that drive meaningful outcomes. We don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” training—every program is customised to meet the unique needs of our clients, seamlessly integrating their policies and processes.

Our Values

  • Earning the right
  • Productivity
  • Guaranteed Effectiveness
  • Continuous Learning
  • Ethical Transparency

RTO 40344
Fulcrum People was the first RTO to be registered in South Australia. Back in 1999, we partnered with Australia Post to design and deliver a pilot Frontline Management program for their staff. This course was repeated several times to accommodate employees and it resulted in every participant receiving a bonus as they all met their KPIs. Since then, we have continually been involved with designing, delivering and assessing courses in the VET sector and have accredited thousands of participants.
The DISC Experience tm
The DISC Experience is a “Blended Learning” module where participants learn about DISC theory,what that means to them in their work and personal relationships, complete the most valid andreliable DISC profile in Australia and then have a personal debrief with a persolog Master Trainer viaZoom to fully understand their own behavioural preferences and how to best leverage them.
E-Learning
We understand that Face to Face Learning & Development is not always viable. To this end, we have developed our “Leadership Series” that can be completed as stand-alone modules, as a pick and mix, or complete program.
