Meet New Psychosocial Laws, Avoid Costly Penalties
All workplaces in Australia are required to manage psychological (mental) health risks. Our EAP helps you meet those obligations, reduce your legal risk, and support your people.
Under WHS laws, employers must take all reasonably practicable steps to protect both the physical and psychological health of workers.
National (Safe Work Australia)
The Model WHS Regulations and Code of Practice – Managing Psychosocial Hazards at Work require employers to:
Identify and manage risks from psychosocial hazards (e.g. bullying, harassment, excessive workloads, poor management, exposure to trauma).
Implement and review controls.
Consult with employees.
Victoria (from December 2025)
New WorkSafe Victoria regulations will make psychosocial risk management an explicit legal requirement, treating these hazards the same as physical ones.
Employer Duties:
Identify psychosocial hazards.
Assess, eliminate, or reduce associated risks.
Consult with staff and health & safety reps.
Review controls when circumstances change.
Keep records of hazards, controls, and reviews.
Failure to meet these obligations leads to:
Large Fines of $50,000+
Workers’ compensation and injury claims
Reputational and operational damage
Helps mitigate harm from psychosocial hazards when they occur, reducing the likelihood and severity of psychological injury claims. Demonstrates that appropriate support was provided.
Proactive resources and leader training help identify and address psychosocial risks early. This can lower the likelihood of psychological injury claims & demonstrate the organisation has taken reasonable steps to meet its WHS obligations.
