Mind the Gap: 5 Practical Fixes to Close Psychosocial Compliance Gaps
Psychosocial safety is not a “nice to have” - it’s a legal obligation. But many organisations are still struggling to understand how to comply.
While Workplace Health and Safety laws have long required organisations to prevent psychological harm, recent updates to the Model WHS Regulations and the new Victorian Psychological Health Regulations make it crystal clear: PCBUs and Duty Holders must take proactive steps to manage psychosocial risks.
Since 2022, regulators across Australia have ramped up inspections and enforcement. Improvement notices are being issued where psychosocial risk management systems fall short—often exposing critical gaps in understanding, implementation, and consultation. These gaps can lead to serious consequences: enforcement action, reputational damage, and operational disruption.
Psychosocial hazards aren’t just another box to tick—they’re complex, overlapping with multiple organisational systems and legal frameworks. A physical risk management approach won’t cut it.
This free* webinar from FlourishDx is designed to help you identify and close the most common psychosocial compliance gaps.
Our expert presenters will cover:
- Identifying psychosocial hazards - Why basic psychosocial literacy across the organisation is essential - and how to spot when it’s missing.
- Controlling risk - Understanding what controls you already have, what’s missing, and how to work toward compliance.
- Monitoring, reviewing, and revising controls - Understanding that proactive monitoring and reactive review and revision of risk controls are required, including in response to conduct or performance-related matters.
- Consultation is not just communication - Discover what genuine consultation looks like in psychosocial risk management - and why simply informing workers isn’t enough.
- Ensuring competent advice - Why you need to seek advice from someone who actually understands psychosocial safety.
Whether you're a WHS professional, HR professional, or Senior Leader, this session will equip you with practical fixes to close compliance gaps and strengthen your psychosocial risk management maturity.
