WorkSafe partnership – Centre for Workplace Mental Health and Wellbeing

 

WorkSafe will become the first establishment partner of the new National Centre for Workplace Mental Health and Wellbeing, contributing $4.5 million to support the commencement of the centre and help fund its first three years.

As first partner, WorkSafe will also play a key role in supporting establishment of the centre, and contributing to the development of several flagship projects in its first year.

The centre will facilitate multi-sector collaboration bringing together regulators, industry, unions, insurers, research academics, service providers and other key stakeholders to enable the development of innovative, real-world solutions to support mentally healthy workplaces and prevent work-related mental injury.

 

A consortium led by Monash University will be responsible for establishing and running the centre nationally.

I look forward to keeping you updated as the centre progresses, and if you would like any additional information, please let me know.
