Psychosocial Safety Consulting | Build Wellbeing and High-Performing Workplaces

Psychosocial risks are now a critical focus under WHS law.

Why Psychosocial Safety Is Now a WHS Priority

Psychosocial safety has moved to the forefront of workplace health and safety, and for good reason.

Rising Awareness of Mental Health Risks

Organisations are recognising the significant impact work can have on mental health. Stress, burnout, bullying, and poor support systems all contribute to psychological harm.

WHS Regulatory Changes

Across Australia, WHS laws now explicitly require the identification and management of psychosocial hazards, placing clear duties on organisations to act.

Leadership Accountability

Executives and managers are increasingly held responsible for creating psychologically safe environments, with due diligence extending to mental wellbeing.

Human and Business Impact

Beyond legal compliance, unmanaged psychosocial risks lead to increased absenteeism, reduced productivity, high turnover, and reputational damage. Conversely, safe and supportive workplaces foster trust, engagement, and performance.

Now more than ever, proactive psychosocial risk management is essential to protecting people and building resilient organisations.

Psychosocial Risk Assessment

We identify and address psychosocial risks to create a safer, more supportive workplace.

Understand the key workplace factors that can impact mental health.

What Are Psychosocial Hazards?

Psychosocial hazards are aspects of work design, organisation, and social context that may cause psychological harm. These hazards can impact mental health, increase stress levels, and reduce overall wellbeing, contributing to disengagement, burnout, and higher risk of physical injury. Recognising and managing them is now a WHS obligation.

High Workload and Low Control

Excessive demands, tight deadlines, and limited decision-making power create sustained stress. When workers have little control over how they perform their tasks, it reduces autonomy and can lead to burnout and mental fatigue.

Bullying and Harassment

Persistent negative behaviours, whether verbal, physical, or psychological, can seriously damage morale and mental health. A culture that tolerates bullying undermines trust, increases turnover, and poses legal risks.

Role Ambiguity

When workers lack clarity about their responsibilities, expectations, or reporting lines, it creates confusion and stress. Role ambiguity is linked to performance issues and reduced job satisfaction.

Poor Support or Change Management

A lack of guidance, recognition, or communication, especially during organisational change, can heighten anxiety and lead to disengagement. Supportive leadership is critical during times of uncertainty.

Isolation or Remote Work Stress

Working in isolation or remotely can reduce connection, increase loneliness, and blur work-life boundaries. Without intentional strategies, remote work environments may heighten psychosocial risk.

A practical, system-focused and human-centred strategy for managing psychosocial risk.

Our Approach to Psychosocial Safety Consulting

At Work Safety Hub, we take a balanced, evidence-based approach to psychosocial safety, focusing on both system design and the lived experience of work.

Our consulting is aligned with WHS legislative duties, ISO 45003, and contemporary safety frameworks including Human and Organisational Performance (HOP), Safety Differently, and Just Culture.

System-Level Focus

We assess how work is designed, organised, and managed, rather than focusing only on individual behaviour.

Our assessments consider role clarity, workload, communication, leadership practices, and organisational change.

People at the Centre

We engage with your people to understand how psychosocial risks show up in their day-to-day work. This helps surface issues that may not appear in policy documents or risk registers.

Integrated Solutions

Our solutions are not bolt-ons. We help integrate psychosocial risk management into your existing WHS management system, HR policies, and leadership practices, ensuring sustainable, compliant outcomes.

Practical, Actionable Outcomes

You’ll receive clear insights and prioritised actions tailored to your risk profile, industry, and workforce needs.

We help you go beyond compliance to build a genuinely supportive and resilient work environment.

Empower your people with the skills to support safer, healthier workplaces.

Training Programs That Build Psychological Safety

At Work Safety Hub, our training programs are designed to equip leaders, managers, and frontline teams with the knowledge and skills needed to identify psychosocial risks, support mental wellbeing, and foster psychologically safe environments.

We focus on practical, real-world application, helping participants move beyond awareness to confident action. Through interactive workshops, tailored learning experiences, and evidence informed content, we build capability across all levels of your organisation.

For Leaders and Managers

We help leaders understand their legal responsibilities, recognise early signs of psychosocial harm, and respond constructively to concerns. Our sessions also explore how leadership behaviours, communication styles, and decision-making practices influence psychological safety.

For Teams and Workgroups

We work with teams to build trust, strengthen communication, and create a shared language around safety and wellbeing.

Participants learn how to speak up, support one another, and contribute to a respectful and inclusive work culture.

All training is aligned with ISO 45003, WHS legislation, and contemporary frameworks like Safety Differently and HOP, ensuring your organisation builds both compliance and capability.

The result is a more connected, engaged, and resilient workforce.

Psychosocial safety solutions that reflect your work environment, risks, and people.

Tailored to Your Industry and Workforce

At Work Safety Hub, we understand that psychosocial risks vary widely between industries, job roles, and team structures. That’s why we tailor our consulting and training services to suit the specific challenges of your sector and workforce.

Construction and Infrastructure

We address high-pressure environments, subcontractor complexity, and leadership responsibilities on site, where mental health conversations can be difficult but critical.

Manufacturing and Logistics

In shift based, fast paced environments, we focus on fatigue, job demands, supervision practices, and communication across rotating teams.

Healthcare and Community Services

For frontline workers exposed to emotional labour, role overload, and client aggression, we offer strategies to manage cumulative stress and build team support.

Education and Public Sector

We address burnout, change fatigue, and the impact of unclear expectations in high-demand, resource constrained environments.

Remote and Hybrid Teams

We help organisations reduce isolation, improve virtual leadership, and maintain wellbeing and connection across dispersed teams.

Wherever your people work, we adapt our approach to your context, ensuring psychosocial risk is managed in ways that are practical, culturally sensitive, and built for lasting impact.

We help you meet your legal duties—while building stronger, safer workplaces.

From Compliance to Culture: What You Can Expect

At Work Safety Hub, we understand that managing psychosocial risk isn’t just about ticking a compliance box, it’s about creating a workplace where people feel safe, supported, and engaged.

Our consulting and training services are designed to help you meet your WHS obligations under current legislation and align with standards like ISO 45003. But we don’t stop there.

We work alongside your leaders, teams, and system owners to embed practical, human-centred strategies that reduce risk and strengthen culture. You’ll get clear insights, risk-based priorities, and tailored actions that support both legal defensibility and real workplace improvement.

As you move from compliance toward culture, you’ll start to see meaningful change, more open conversations, stronger trust, improved team dynamics, and early intervention before issues escalate. We also support your leadership team to confidently engage with psychosocial risks and foster environments where wellbeing is seen as integral to performance.

With our support, your organisation won’t just avoid harm, you’ll unlock the benefits of a resilient, respectful, and psychologically safe workplace.

Because when people feel safe, they perform at their best.
