Why this resource matters
Every Australian jurisdiction now requires employers to manage psychosocial hazards with the same rigour as physical risk. Psychological injury claims take 5x longer to resolve and cost 4x more than other workplace claims, and they’re the fastest-growing injury category in the country*.
How it can help
Psychosocial risk is no longer a standalone wellbeing issue. It’s a regulated organisational risk requiring clear governance, defined roles and system-level controls.
- Move beyond wellbeing programs to system-level controls, not just individual support measures.
- Clarify who does what and how different functions contribute to hazard identification, risk assessment, control and review.
- Strengthen prevention through better work design, leadership practices and governance settings that prevent risk before it escalates.
