Psychosocial risks: your legal WHS obligations

An employer's legal obligations related to identifying and managing psychosocial hazards in the workplace under work health and safety legislation in Australia.
{{ tag.label }} {{ tag.label }} $vuetify.icons.faTimes

Controlling every psychosocial hazard in your business may not be achievable. However, employers do have certain legal responsibilities to do the utmost (as far as is “reasonably practicable”) to prevent issues and protect your workers’ wellbeing under Australian law.

Each state's WHS/OHS Act mandates the inclusion of psychological health within the definition of workplace health.  Some states even have particular Codes of Practice that relate to these issues.

Find out what you need to know as an employer to ensure you’re compliant with Australian WHS laws around psychosocial risks and hazards. You’ll also receive guidance on how to handle complaints. Foster a safe and healthy work environment and stay in alignment with the rules and regulations with this useful resource.
