Serious compliance,

You want to protect your team and meet your obligations, but you’re also running a business and time is tight.

This doesn’t need to become another overwhelming task in your to do list.

What You’re Required to Have by 1 Dec 2025

Under Victoria’s updated OHS framework, employers must identify and manage psychosocial hazards.

This includes risks related to:

  • High Workload or Poor Job Design

    When demands exceed capacity or roles lack clarity, stress and burnout follow.

  • Poor Team Relationships

    A lack of trust, collaboration, or respect within teams can increase stress and disengagement.

  • Low Support from Leaders or Peers

    When people feel unsupported or isolated, it impacts mental wellbeing and performance.

  • Bullying or Unreasonable Pressure

    Repeated negative behaviour or constant unrealistic demands can cause serious harm.

  • Conflict or Aggression

    Unresolved tension, verbal abuse, or hostile behaviour can harm psychological safety.

  • Exposure to Traumatic Content

    Handling distressing material (e.g. in healthcare or support roles) without proper support increases risk.

  • Poor Change Management

    Sudden or unclear changes like restructures or new systems can create anxiety and confusion.

You must also:

  • Consult with Workers

    Get input from your team. This is a legal requirement and helps identify real risks on the ground.

  • Identify Hazards

    Look for factors in the workplace that could negatively impact mental health or wellbeing.

  • Assess Risks

    Evaluate how likely each hazard is to cause harm, and how serious the impact could be.

  • Implement Controls

    Put practical steps in place to reduce or eliminate risks, tailored to your workplace needs.

  • Review and Monitor Your Approach

    Regularly check that your controls are working and update your plan as your business evolves.
