Workplace Psychological Safety & Psychosocial Hazard Support in NSW
Supporting Mental Health and Safety in Australian Workplaces
Workplaces across NSW are facing growing expectations – legally and ethically – to create environments that prevent psychological harm and support employee wellbeing. With changes to NSW WHS Regulation 2025 and the Commonwealth Code of Practice on psychosocial hazards, many organisations are now seeking clear guidance on how to meet these obligations while protecting their workforce.
At iflow Psychology in Gladesville, we provide evidence-based psychosocial support services, workplace assessments, and practical guidance to help businesses identify risks, respond appropriately, and cultivate psychologically healthy workplaces.
Why Psychosocial Hazards Matter
Psychosocial hazards are factors in the design or management of work that may cause psychological or physical harm. Common hazards include:
-
High job demands
-
Low job control
-
Bullying and harassment
-
Workplace conflict
-
Job insecurity
-
Exposure to trauma or distressing material
-
Poor organisational justice
-
Lack of support
-
Fatigue
-
Poorly managed change
-
Remote or isolated work
Many NSW workplaces are now required to actively manage these hazards. Our clinicians help organisations understand their obligations under the updated psychosocial hazards NSW regulations and implement practical responses.
