Background

One in five Australian workers experience mental ill-health at any given time. It is likely some of your team members are struggling with stress, anxiety, or depression right now. But most Australian workplaces are simply guessing on how to identify, respond and monitor staff that have poor mental health.

Managers lack confidence and permission to intervene to have an effective conversation to support their staff and guide them to appropriate support to aid recovering and sustainable return to work and health.
