Date: Tuesday 6 December 2022
Time: 9:00am - 1:00pm (AEDT)
Location: Online

Course Overview

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices.

Every year 1 in 5 Australians will experience a common mental illness. That means that every day, millions of Australians go to work while experiencing a mental health problem.

The impact of this is enormous, affecting workplace productivity, performance, and employee well-being. Mental stress has one of the highest costs at approx. $292, 770 / case1.  Given that the average Australian worker will spend close to 1/3rd of their lives at work, the workplace is an ideal place for early intervention for mental wellbeing.  

Under WHS legislation, the principal duty of employers is to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of their workers or groups of workers. More workplaces are realising the importance of managing mental health at work and recognising the benefits of creating mentally healthy workplaces.  A mentally healthy workplace is one that understands that work can play a large role in an individual’s mental health and that mental health problems can have a huge impact on an individual.

Mentally healthy workplaces promote education and adopt policies and practices that create a culture of care where employees are encouraged to talk openly about mental health.

“While good leaders care about business impact, great leaders focus more on psychological impact”
