Part I
The Governance Challenge
Reframes psychosocial safety from a wellbeing programme to a director-level governance obligation — and shows why the current corporate response is legally and financially exposed.
The leadership gap and the cost of inaction
Why executive teams are underwriting a risk they don't yet govern — the claims curve, the productivity drag and the reputational tail.
The return on prevention
The evidence base for prevention-at-source economics — including the multiplier on every dollar shifted from response to design.
Recent regulatory signals and prosecutions
What SafeWork, Comcare and state regulators are actually enforcing — with the decisions, penalties and undertakings executives should know by name.
The physical–psychosocial safety link
Why psychosocial hazards cause physical injury (and vice versa) — and what that means for integrated WHS reporting.
Officer due diligence in practice
The six statutory limbs of officer due diligence, translated into board and executive behaviours that would survive a regulator interview.
The global landscape — ISO 45003, ESRS S1 and market expectations
How international standards, disclosure regimes and investor expectations are converging — and where Australian boards are already behind.
From activities to systems
Why training rosters, EAP uptake and pulse scores are not evidence of control — and what a system-level response looks like.
