Program Overview: What is Australia Psychosocial Hazards and Respect@Work Compliance Corporate Training?
This program helps your team understand what Australian WHS laws require for psychological health and safety, and what the Respect@Work positive duty means in practice. We begin by mapping your training needs and requirements, then focus on the skills your employees use daily: identifying psychosocial hazards, assessing risk, and applying controls.
Across 23 hours of expert-led sessions, your team will enhance its ability to prevent harm, improve the quality of risk reviews and complaint handling, and lift overall compliance performance. Guided labs mirror day-to-day work, so collaboration and teamwork between HR, WHS, and legal sharpen with every module, and your teams grow lasting capability.
Upskill new starters and reskill experienced staff on current WHS guidance and the AHRC positive duty standard in one consistent program. Every module pairs clear instruction with guided practice, so knowledge transfers straight into your control environment.
The program adapts to your reporting lines, industries, and risk profile, so each cohort practices the workflows it owns and returns to work ready to apply them.

Strengthen Psychosocial Risk Management and Respectful Workplace Response Practices
Our psychosocial hazards and Respect@Work training connects workplace duties with structured risk assessment, prevention, and response. Participants examine fictional team scenarios, design controls, and rehearse handling a complaint sensitively. The final readiness exercise emphasizes documented reasoning and responsibilities while keeping personal disclosures and actual complaint determinations outside the training environment.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore your HR, WHS, and risk responsibilities, identifying learning needs in psychosocial hazard recognition, preventive controls, positive-duty concepts, and complaint response.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish workplace duties before hazard assessment, positive-duty review, control design, and incident-response planning, culminating in a simulated readiness review.
- Step 03
Align
We align HR, safety, legal, and audit perspectives, setting respectful discussion boundaries and adapting explanations to participants’ experience with psychosocial risk.
- Step 04
Customize
We tailor fictional team profiles and complaint scenarios to relevant workplace pressures, avoiding exercises that require participants to disclose personal experiences or identify colleagues.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants rate risks, assign control owners, and rehearse a trauma-informed response sequence with feedback on documentation, sensitivity, and the distinction between prevention and investigation.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the readiness exercise for supported risk ratings, practical controls, clear accountability, and a considered response plan that preserves appropriate investigative boundaries.
