This workshop by Mental Health First Aid equips leaders with an understanding of mental health conditions, enabling them to promote awareness, enhance communication, and foster a supportive workplace that values mental health. By gaining insights into early intervention, empathy, and active listening, leaders can reduce stigma, boost productivity, and contribute to healthier, more engaged teams, ultimately driving organisational success.

Join Dr Michael Di Donato, Luke Sheehan, and Keith Govias as they unpack the Mental Health white paper, developed by EML in partnership with Monash University. Using national datasets, the paper highlights the rise in psychological injury claims, identifies systemic risks, and explores industry-specific challenges. The speakers will examine key findings, discuss emerging trends, and share practical, data-driven strategies to strengthen trust and support between employers and employees. This session provides valuable insights to help organisations create safer, more mentally healthy workplaces.

This session provides an overview of the “It Pays To Care” policy, and how psychosocial care can be applied in the workplace to enhance health and safety programs, strengthen workplace culture and employee wellbeing, and improve health and recovery outcomes for people who experience a workplace injury.
