About This Webinar

Psychosocial hazards are no longer a future concern; they are the defining WHS issue of our time. But how is Australia actually responding? What are regulators prioritising? What is case law telling us?

Timed to coincide with National Safety Month in October, this webinar cuts through the noise to give you a clear and current picture of where things stand across Australia on psychosocial safety.

Franca will examine the latest WorkSafe prosecutions, unpack what they tell us about regulatory priorities, and bring in relevant data and reports on psychological injury claims. This is a must-attend for anyone with safety, HR or leadership responsibilities.
