Leading a team through change calls for clarity, confidence, and a deep understanding of how people respond when their world shifts. This workshop explores practical ways to guide others with steadiness, empathy, and purpose during periods of uncertainty. Participants will discover how to communicate direction, maintain trust, and keep momentum even when circumstances evolve rapidly. The session equips leaders with adaptable strategies that help teams stay engaged, resilient, and ready for what comes next.

Executives carry the ultimate responsibility for workplace health and safety. This session explores how leaders can identify, manage, and mitigate psychosocial risks while fulfilling their duty of care.

Secondary psychological injuries are a growing and complex challenge for workplaces. In this session, Dr Michael Di Donato shares insights from a major Monash University research project funded by Safe Work Australia, joined by Jim Gilchrist (Safe Work Australia) and Noni Byron (PHSA). Together they explore how these injuries are defined and experienced in Australia, and highlight key findings along with practical actions organisations can take to strengthen prevention, early response and support in the workplace. 

This session helps participants build the practical mindset and capabilities needed to navigate change more effectively. The intent is to equip participants with practical tools and a shared language that helps them remain effective, adaptable, and forward-looking during periods of ongoing change.

Young workers aged 15–24 are entering the workforce facing rising rates of psychological distress, complex external pressures, and evolving workplace expectations. While many employers recognise these challenges, there is often uncertainty around how best to create environments where young workers can genuinely thrive. Drawing on new data developed in partnership with EML, SuperFriend will present key findings from its Young Worker Survey, exploring the paradox of a generation that reports positive workplace experiences while also experiencing high levels of distress and what this means for early intervention and psychosocial risk management.
