Mental Health in the Workplace (CSP-NMF-086)

Mental health is now one of the leading causes of workplace absenteeism and long-term disability in Australia. The legal and moral obligations on employers are increasing — and the expectations on employees to understand and manage their own mental health at work have never been higher. Across 3 modules, you will learn about the Australian WHS framework as it applies to psychosocial hazards, how to recognise signs of stress and burnout in yourself and colleagues, how to have a mental health conversation at work, and what reasonable adjustments and support pathways look like in an Australian employment context. This course is designed for employees, managers, HR professionals, and anyone who spends a significant portion of their life at work and wants to understand the mental health dimension of that environment.
