Awareness around psychological safety has grown, particularly driven by legislative efforts in Australia. Comcare, the national regulator for workplace safety and workers’ compensation, has been a key player in this movement, leading initiatives to address psychosocial hazards like job demands.
It’s proactive stance not only sets a standard but also underscores the importance of creating safe and supportive workplaces. Recognising that businesses need support, Comcare has developed a series of helpful information pages on each of the major psychosocial hazards.
This one focuses on job demands, which can be a driver of stress and psychological harm.

I enjoy bite sized information with fantastic links to follow up more targeted information. Great to see what’s happening with our Australian cousins without having to spend time on the research. Thanks for the link!
Thanks Michelle! The Aussies are doing some amazing work. Glad it’s useful too!
