Answer the checklist
A manager answers questions about rosters, workloads, customers, incidents and how staff raise concerns.
Why now
The rules changed. Inspectors now ask for the records.
Workloads, aggression from clients, lone shifts and harassment can harm people as surely as a wet floor. Employers have always had a duty to manage them.
What changed is that Victoria, NSW and Queensland now spell out how, and inspectors ask to see what you found, what you changed and who you consulted. We write those records, so your time goes into the fixing.

Improvement notices from SafeWork NSW's psychosocial visits to more than 200 workplaces in May and June 2026. Its largest-ever psychosocial operation followed in October.

NSW codes of practice became the minimum standard. Follow the psychosocial code, or show you manage the risk at least as well.

Psychosocial hazards in WorkSafe Victoria's compliance code, from high job demands to gendered violence. Your register checks each one.

Training can't be your main control in Victoria. Where you reasonably can, you have to change the work itself.
Your state
Same idea, different rules
Each state words its duties differently. Your pack follows the regulation and code of practice that apply where you operate.
In force 1 Dec 2025
Occupational Health and Safety (Psychological Health) Regulations 2025
- Identify psychosocial hazards and eliminate the risk where you reasonably can (r 14–15).
- Training can't be the main control while a change to the work is reasonably practicable (r 15(3)–(4)).
- Review controls whenever a worker reports a hazard or injury, or the HSR asks (r 16).
Following WorkSafe Victoria's compliance code counts as complying.

Who's behind it
“Every record in your pack points to the clause that asks for it, so you can see why it's there and nothing is padding. I read every checklist and answer every email myself. If the pack isn't useful to you, you don't pay.”

Questions
Good questions to ask first
Is this legal advice?
No. The pack supports your own risk assessment using the official regulations and codes of practice. You remain responsible for managing the risks and for the decisions in the documents. If you're under an improvement notice, talk to the regulator or a lawyer about what it requires.
Do you collect information about my staff's mental health?
No. We only use the manager checklist and, if you choose, group-level survey results. Any harassment or incident records stay with you; the pack gives you the forms to keep them.
WorkSafe Victoria offers a free service. How is this different?
Victoria funds a free psychosocial assessment service for businesses with fewer than 200 staff. If you can use it, do. The pack is the paperwork that sits alongside any assessment: the register, controls, consultation record and review log you keep and update. It also covers NSW and Queensland.
We've already run a staff survey. Do we still need this?
A survey shows which hazards staff report. Regulators say it can't replace consulting workers or checking the full hazard list. The pack turns your results into the records that show what you did about them.
The free People at Work survey has closed. What do we use now?
People at Work stopped taking new surveys in July and closed on 2 October 2026. A survey was only ever one input: regulators expect you to consult workers and check the full hazard list as well. The pack gives you the register, controls and consultation record either way, and you can attach group results from any staff survey you run.
What if we're not happy with the pack?
One round of changes is included. If it still isn't useful, don't pay the invoice.
