Psychosocial hazards training in Victoria

Victorian employers now have to identify psychosocial hazards at work and reduce the risk they pose. This training supports your leaders, managers and safety reps to understand and manage those risks in a way people can actually follow. It is not proof of legal compliance.

What the regulations ask of employers

Since 1 December 2025, the Occupational Health and Safety (Psychological Health) Regulations require employers to identify psychosocial hazards, eliminate or reduce the risk so far as is reasonably practicable, and review the controls they put in place. WorkSafe Victoria's guidance explains the detail. WorkSafe Victoria says training should not be the predominant control for psychosocial risks.

What the session covers

  • What psychosocial hazards are, with plain examples from your industry
  • How to spot them early and talk about them without blame
  • Practical controls for the hazards that matter most in your workplace
  • Checking that reporting and support work for people from different cultural and language backgrounds

Who it's for

Leaders, managers, HR and safety teams, and wellbeing champions in Victorian workplaces.

How it runs

Online, or onsite across Victoria, including regional areas (travel costs apply), tailored to your workplace.
