How can we help?

Whether you need end-to-end support or advice on a specific component, we help you take a structured, prevention focused approach to Psychosocial Safety that is targeted, risk based and workable in practice.

We support organisations with psychosocial hazard reviews, risk assessments, risk management plans, strategy development, and building leader and employee capability through tailored training.

Take a proactive approach

Strengthen speak-up culture, control risks early and stay aligned with regulator expectations

What is psychosocial safety?

Psychosocial safety is about preventing psychological harm that can arise from the way work is designed, managed and experienced. It includes the work factors that can create stress and risk over time, as well as harmful behaviours and interactions at work.

Common psychosocial hazards can include excessive job demands, low job control, poor support, low role clarity, poor change management, bullying and harassment, exposure to traumatic material, and violence or aggression from clients or the public. These hazards can interact and compound, so practical risk management focuses on the real drivers of harm in your context.

Legislative expectations

Across Australia, WHS laws require organisations to provide and maintain a work environment that is safe and without risks to health, including psychological health, so far as is reasonably practicable. This means psychosocial hazards must be identified and risks eliminated or minimised.

Regulators expect a documented, consultative risk management approach, with effective controls, clear accountability and regular review. Codes of practice and regulator guidance can help clarify what is reasonably practicable in each jurisdiction.

Manage risk in practice

Set clear priorities, strengthen controls and give leaders the confidence to act early

Psychosocial Hazards Review & Strategy

Psychosocial Hazard Review

We can support you to review existing data and systems, consult with your workforce, and identify hazards and control gaps. This involves drawing together available information across policies, processes and workforce data to understand how psychosocial risks are currently being identified, assessed and managed in practice.

The review considers both documented approaches and how work is experienced across the organisation, providing a clearer picture of where risks are being effectively managed and where there may be gaps, inconsistencies or areas requiring further focus. The outcome is an evidence informed view of your current state, which can be used to inform further assessment, planning or targeted action.

Psychosocial Risk Assessment

A psychosocial risk assessment helps you understand where work may be creating risk, who may be exposed, and what needs to change.

We use documents, workforce data, stakeholder consultation and facilitated workshops, where useful, to identify hazards, assess current controls and prioritise practical action. The outcome is a clear, evidence informed view of your psychosocial risk profile, with recommendations that strengthen controls, clarify accountability and support WHS alignment.

Turn insight into action

A psychosocial risk assessment gives you more than a list of hazards. It helps you understand what is driving risk, how effectively those risks are being controlled, and where targeted action will have the greatest impact.

Psychosocial Safety Strategy

We help you turn psychosocial safety obligations into a practical strategy that gives leaders clear priorities and a workable plan for action.

This starts with understanding what is already in place, where there are gaps or overlaps, and what outcomes matter most for your workforce and operating environment. From there, we develop a staged roadmap across prevention, early intervention and response, with clear actions, owners, timeframes, dependencies and measures.

We can also support the governance, consultation, reporting and communication needed to help leaders and employees understand the strategy, their role in it, and how psychosocial risks will be managed in practice.

Build capability that lasts

Psychosocial hazards are fluid and dynamic, so capability needs to translate into day-to-day judgment and action

Psychosocial Hazard Risk Management Plan

We can support the development of a psychosocial hazard risk management plan that outlines identified risks, risk ratings and recommended control measures, providing a structured approach to managing psychosocial hazards.

The plan can also clarify roles and responsibilities, reporting, consultation and monitoring, so agreed controls are understood and can be reviewed over time. This helps translate the findings of a review or risk assessment into a practical document that supports ongoing psychosocial risk management.

Psychosocial Hazards Training

Programs can be delivered face to face or online, and are tailored to the audience, risk profile and operating environment.

Sessions raise awareness of what psychosocial hazards are, how they arise, and the effects of psychological injury. Learning outcomes can include describing common psychosocial hazards and how they arise, identifying hazards in the current work environment, outlining the risk management process, defining suitable control measures, detecting indicators of psychosocial risk, supporting employees who may be impacted, and building psychological safety within teams.

Our Psychosocial Hazards Training Program can be adapted for boards and executive teams, people leaders and employees.

Our programs are designed to help organisations address their WHS duties while equipping leaders and employees with the cultural risk intelligence and practical tools to recognise, report and manage psychosocial hazards at work.

What is Cultural Risk Intelligence?

Cultural risk intelligence is the ability to recognise and respond to emerging people risk.

Our training programs build leaders’ capability to identify early signals, apply appropriate controls and take preventative action over time. This strengthens cultural risk intelligence across the leadership cohort, enabling managers to notice what is changing, respond early and reinforce safe, sustainable team practices.

Cultural risk intelligence beyond psychosocial safety

Cultural risk intelligence is relevant to preventing inappropriate workplace behaviour and sexual harassment, where leaders need to recognise early signals, respond appropriately and reinforce safe, respectful team norms.

High Risk HR Moments

Psychosocial risks can increase during High Risk HR Moments. Particularly during performance management, workplace investigations, and organisational change processes such as restructures and redundancy.

Psychosocial Hazards Checklists

Check out our Psychosocial Hazards Checklist for People Managers for a practical prompt to pause, assess risk and apply the right controls before starting these processes.
