SafeWork NSW – Strategy Announcement

June 14, 2018

The NSW Mentally Healthy Workplaces Strategy 2018 -22 is the NSW Government’s long-term plan for mentally healthy workplaces and represents the single-biggest investment in workplace mental health in the nation’s history. The strategy includes:

  • An awareness campaign, including website, to motivate and supports businesses to create mentally healthy workplaces
  • Evidence-informed interventions including manager training, a group mental health skills program and a recovery at work program
  • Assessment tools and increased collaboration opportunities to build business capability
  • Research investment to improve the knowledge base and build workplace capability to use evidence-informed decisions.

The strategy has been developed with local and international workplace mental health experts, including academics, unions and worker representatives, industry associations, mental health clinicians, business leaders, workers compensation insurers and worker representatives including people with lived experience.
