HOME / Psychosocial Safety
Psychosocial safety protects educators and staff from work-related stress, bullying, and
fatigue — now recognised under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Cth).
SKW helps schools and childcare centres identify and control psychosocial risks using
evidence-based audits aligned with:
• WHS Act 2011 (Cth) – Duty of Care
• Safe Work Australia Psychosocial Hazards Code of Practice (2023)
• ISO 45003 – Psychological Health and Safety
We believe that enhancing psychosocial safety at work is essential for moving beyond mere compliance to foster a mature and collaborative safety culture. The introduction of psychosocial regulations in Australia has heightened the focus on mental health and social wellbeing in the workplace, underscoring the critical importance of identifying and addressing risks.
Organizations now have a distinct responsibility to cultivate a healthy, safe work environment where employees feel empowered to manage their tasks, overcome challenges, and achieve their full potential. This requires leveraging available resources and providing adequate support to facilitate these goals.
To achieve this, organizations must empower leaders and teams with essential resources, tools, and knowledge to foster a safe and healthy workplace environment. Our psychosocial safety suite integrates these principles into practical solutions designed to help organizations transform their safety culture and cultivate a thriving workplace.
