Give your workplace or business a mental health overhaul

Creating a mentally healthy workplace is the responsibility of all employers, leaders and workers in NSW.


Make your workplace safer and healthier by learning about how to manage mental health, registering for free training and coaching and completing the Workplace Wellbeing Assessment.


The NSW Government website has free training and coaching which can help you create a mentally healthy workplace.


Our experts can train your workforce on how and why to protect psychological health at work.


They can also work with employers and leaders one-on-one to fine tune your mental health initiatives, or confidentially coach leaders on how to manage issues that may be affecting your employees’ mental health at work.


Eligible businesses can access one or both programs, in the order that suits you.


Programs include:

How to create a mentally healthy workplace

Managing mental health in your workplace

Mental health at work resources

Legal obligations and rights

Creating mentally healthy workplaces case studies


One in five Australians have taken time off work in the past 12 months because they felt stressed, anxious, depressed or mentally unhealthy.


This statistic is more than twice as high among those who consider their workplace mentally unhealthy.


Australian workplaces are trying hard to make workplaces more mentally healthy but let's all take every step we can to keep that momentum going.
