The Psychosocial Safety Audit
Psychosocial risk splits into two problems most organisations handle unevenly: can you see it coming, and what happens once someone's actually harmed.
This audit scores you on both — six questions, two minutes, no email required.
- Part 1 scores your Detection — how early you see psychosocial risk forming.
- Part 2 scores your Response — what happens once someone's actually harmed.
You'll land in one of four results, mapped against where the gap tends to bite hardest.
The fastest-growing, most expensive claim on your books
Mental health conditions are now Australia's fastest-growing category of serious workers' compensation claim — and by far its most costly. Most Australian jurisdictions have also made managing psychosocial hazards an explicit WHS duty, not a discretionary wellbeing program. For a CHRO, that makes this a financial and compliance exposure as much as a people one.
