The introduction of Victoria’s Occupational Health and Safety (Psychological Health) Regulations 2025 places increased responsibility on employers to identify, assess and control psychosocial hazards in the workplace.
While many organisations have traditionally focused on physical hazards, employers must now give equal attention to risks that can impact workers’ psychological health and wellbeing. These hazards may include excessive workloads, workplace bullying, aggression, poor organisational change management, traumatic events, remote work isolation and inadequate support systems.
