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.
Start a conversation ->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.
Five ways to engage me.
Start with an assessment, or bring me in where the need is sharpest.
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.
Leadership capability
Equip your managers, the single biggest lever on wellbeing, with practical, evidence-based skills to lead under pressure and prevent harm.
Work and role design
Redesign how work is structured so that demands, control, clarity and recognition support performance rather than erode it.
Remote and hybrid teams
Make distributed work sustainable, with the communication, feedback and connection that keep remote teams healthy and productive. Read the white paper.
Workforce diagnostics
Measure what is actually happening across your teams using validated instruments, so decisions rest on evidence rather than assumption.
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, where I topped my year in research with a perfect score, brings the depth on the human side that this field demands.
Advisory to software companies and their investors.
Alongside the psychosocial practice, I advise B2B software companies and the funds that back them on the stretch after an investment, when growth targets, new leadership and operational reality start pulling against each other. Organisational design that holds up as the company scales, performance metrics that measure what matters, and founder and incoming-leadership alignment. The lens is the same: behavioural science applied to commercial problems, grounded in having co-founded, scaled and exited a $100M GRC software business.
I have written a two-part series on these dynamics:
