Professional Practice Program
Build your knowledge and skills for psychosocial risk management.
The Professional Practice in Psychological Health and Safety (PPPH&S) program has been developed specifically to improve the competence of people and safety professionals applying psychosocial risk management within organisations.
The program is internationally relevant, aligning to ISO 45003:2021, while also ensuring legislative compliance in countries with a positive duty such as Australia and the UK. The content in this 12-week program is highly practical, with a requirement for participants to apply what they have learnt in the month between the four two-hour live interactive sessions with subject matter experts from FlourishDx.
