Take charge of psychosocial risks. It’s your legal duty.

Leaders now have a positive obligation to ensure their workplaces are mentally safe, supportive, and free from harm, or risk penalties and compliance breaches.

Prevent toxic workplaces. It’s the law.

Psychosocial hazards aren’t just about stress or long hours. They’re risks in how work is designed, organised, or managed that can cause serious psychological harm, such as excessive workloads, lack of support, bullying, harassment, and toxic cultures. These are no longer just ‘HR issues’; they are critical safety risks under WHS laws.

Leaders now have a positive duty to identify, assess, and control these hazards. Failing to do so can lead to Category 1 offences, with fines up to $16.6 million for organisations and 20 years’ jail or $3.3 million for officers, or Category 2 offences, with fines up to $2.3 million for organisations.

Leaders are also responsible for preventing toxic work environments by stopping sexual harassment and sex-based harassment, which both contribute to a harmful workplace culture. Failing to act risks breaching multiple laws, including the Respect@Work Act, discrimination laws, and WHS legislation.

It’s time for leaders to take action. Here’s how we help you manage psychosocial risks effectively:

What are psychosocial hazards?

Psychosocial hazards are aspects of work design, organisation, management, or the social environment that can cause psychological or physical harm. They include excessive workloads, unrealistic deadlines, lack of support, bullying, harassment, job insecurity, and poor work-life balance. These hazards can lead to stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, and other health issues if not properly identified and managed in the workplace.

What’s changed in the law?

Employers now have a positive duty to proactively identify and manage psychosocial hazards as part of WHS compliance.

What are the consequences of failing to address psychosocial hazards in the workplace?

Failure to manage psychosocial hazards can lead to serious legal penalties. Under Category 1 offences, organisations can face fines of up to $16.6 million, while officers may face fines up to $3.3 million or 20 years’ imprisonment for reckless or gross negligence. Category 2 offences can result in fines up to $2.3 million for organisations and $464,000 for officers.

Other consequences include enforceable undertakings requiring costly corrective actions, workers’ compensation claims, personal liability for officers and managers, reputational damage, and significant impacts on employee wellbeing, productivity, and organisational performance.
