Psychosocial Workplace Health
Practical help to meet your legal obligations — without the overwhelm.
At Performance Advantage HR, we understand that the new psychosocial risk regulations can feel daunting for small businesses. You’re expected to identify, assess, manage, and monitor risks that affect mental health — all while running a business, meeting customer needs, and managing staff.
The good news? You don’t need to navigate this alone.
Led by Suzanne Diprose, a qualified HR Consultant and Welfare Worker with 25+ years’ experience supporting small businesses, Performance Advantage HR brings practical wisdom, real-world HR expertise, and ready-to-implement tools that help you comply with legislation and improve your workplace culture.
Why Psychosocial Risk Management Matters
The updated WHS/OHS legislation across Australia requires employers to manage psychosocial hazards with the same rigor as physical hazards. This includes risks such as:
Workload pressures and role overload
Conflict, bullying or poor behaviour
Poor change management
Lack of clarity in roles
Inadequate supervision or support
Traumatic or emotionally demanding work
Inconsistent communication or unfair practices
All employers — regardless of size — must demonstrate that they have systems in place to identify, assess and control these risks.
Failure to comply can result in penalties, claims, lost productivity, and reputational damage.
How Performance Advantage HR Helps You Comply
We specialise in supporting small businesses, where owners and managers often wear multiple hats and need practical, time-saving solutions.
