We're empowering leaders to create healthier, more resilient workplaces by integrating wellness strategies, understanding WHS compliance and adopting leadership practices suitable for the AI age.

Pause 2025 is not just an event, it’s a movement to create workplaces where leaders lead with purpose, employees thrive and mental health is a priority. Through awareness, education, and advocacy, we aim to drive meaningful change in workplace culture across Australia.

THE FACTS

70% of employees in Australia believe their mental health is significantly influenced by workplace culture.
1 in 4 leaders admit they lack the tools or knowledge to advocate for well-being effectively—Pause Summit provides actionable solutions to bridge this gap.

Who Will Benefit?

This event is tailored for senior executives, HR leaders and corporate decision-makers ready to lead the way in fostering a culture of wellness, engagement and high performance within their organisations.
