The relationship between mental health and the workplace is complex.

Employees spend a significant amount of their time and energy at work, and their working environment can greatly influence their mental health and overall well-being.

Under work/occupational health and safety laws, employers have duties and obligations to do whatever is reasonably practicable to eliminate or minimise risks to employee’s health, including their mental well-being.
