Psychosocial risk and safety advisory

Psychosocial risk, managed like the safety discipline it is.

Australian organisations now carry a legal duty to manage psychosocial hazards. I help you meet it with the same rigour you already apply to physical safety, and build workplaces where people do their best work.

Twenty years designing governance, risk and compliance solutions for global enterprises. Master of Applied Positive Psychology, University of Melbourne.

The shift

A new category of risk, on familiar ground.

Under work health and safety law, psychosocial hazards are now treated as seriously as physical ones. Job demands, low control, poor support, harmful behaviour and the rest are hazards you are required to identify, assess, control and monitor. The discipline is one most organisations already run for safety. The subject matter is what is new, and where most need help.

How I help

Five ways to engage me.

Start with an assessment, or bring me in where the need is sharpest.

Assess

Psychosocial risk and compliance

Assess your exposure against WHS obligations and ISO 45003, then build the hazard register, controls and monitoring that stand up to scrutiny.

Enable

Leadership capability

Equip your managers, the single biggest lever on wellbeing, with practical, evidence-based skills to lead under pressure and prevent harm.

Design

Work and role design

Redesign how work is structured so that demands, control, clarity and recognition support performance rather than erode it.

Sustain

Remote and hybrid teams

Make distributed work sustainable, with the communication, feedback and connection that keep remote teams healthy and productive.

Measure

Workforce diagnostics

Measure what is actually happening across your teams using validated instruments, so decisions rest on evidence rather than assumption.

Background

A risk and compliance career, now focused on its newest frontier.

For two decades I designed and delivered governance, risk and compliance solutions for some of the world's largest operators, across mining, energy, logistics, rail, financial services and certification. That work came down to one thing: helping complex organisations manage risk against global best practice. Psychosocial risk is the natural extension of it, and my Master of Applied Positive Psychology brings the depth on the human side that this field demands.
