We’re taking action to protect workplace mental health

Work is a significant factor in people’s mental health. We know that meaningful, rewarding, good work can impact positively on our mental health. Equally we know that issues such as high workloads, customer and client aggression and poor workplace relationships can adversely impact on workers’ mental health.

Work-related psychological injury has consequences for employees and employers. A mentally healthy workplace takes positive steps to prevent harm by identifying mental health hazards, managing harm from an early stage, and supporting recovery, just like we would with physical hazards at work.

But having a mentally healthy workplace means having the right tools and resources to identify and address workplace mental health risks before they become a hazard.
