Mental health

We’ve created resources for workers, their families and employers to assist with prevention and recovery from work-related psychological injury or mental illness. 
 
Around Australia one in five people at work are experiencing some kind of mental illness, which impacts relationships, productivity, and physical health. Mental health is in the top five of all injuries EML manages and we have invested heavily in prevention, mitigation and rehabilitation to help people get their lives back. 
 
Our nationally-relevant videos and articles have been developed through collaborations with organisations such as NSW Police, Fire and Rescue NSW, NSW Health, the Black Dog Institute and the Royal Australasian College of Physicians. 
 
Watch these videos and read our articles and access useful resources for tips on protecting your mental health, family support opportunities, and creating workplaces that support prevention, early intervention and recovery.
