Psychosocial hazard specialists · Australia-wide
People first safety.
We help government, HR and safety leaders meet their legal duty to manage psychosocial hazards, and design work that keeps people well.
Managing psychosocial hazards is a legal duty, not a wellness program.
Under Australian WHS laws, employers must identify, assess and control psychosocial risks, just like physical hazards. Directors and other officers must be able to show due diligence. Workplace mental health and safety is a WHS duty, not just a wellbeing goal. We help you manage it that way, with the process, the evidence and the confidence.
Why it matters
The risk that lives where work gets done.
Psychosocial hazards rarely start with one person. They sit in how work is staffed, rostered, targeted, changed and led: the workload that never quite fits the hours, the role nobody has defined, the decision made without the people it affects.
That is why the strongest controls change the work itself. A new policy or another wellbeing session can help, but on its own it leaves the source in place. We help you find where the risk sits, then design it out wherever you reasonably can.
What we do
Specialist support,
start to finish.
Compliance & Reporting
Turn your findings into a clear plan. A risk register, controls and board-ready reporting that shows you’re meeting your obligations.
- Psychosocial risk registers
- Board and executive reports
- Psychosocial hazard management and action plans
Leader Training
Give managers the skills to spot warning signs, support their people and control hazards in their teams. Live and expert-led.
- Positive Duty briefings for leaders
- Identifying and supporting staff at risk
- Respect@Work and reporting systems
Working in partnership
We build on the work you've already done.
We work alongside your HR, safety and leadership teams so every hazard you already know about is captured, and the effort you've already put in counts. The result is one complete picture of psychosocial risk, not a parallel system.
Existing risk registers
Your current hazard and risk registers become the baseline, not something we start over.
Surveys you already run
Engagement and pulse survey results add depth to our own independent tools.
Incident and complaint data
Reports, complaints, claims and EAP trends help show where risk is showing up.
Previous reviews and research
Earlier audits, consultations and internal research are built in, so good work isn't lost.

Who you'll work with
Hi, I'm Gina.
I've spent more than 30 years in workplace mental health, behavioural safety and culture change, across heavy industry, energy, finance, retail, health and government. I built and scaled MindFit at Work, a leading EAP and mental health training practice later acquired by Spectrum.Life, before returning my full focus to SafetyMind.
I lead and personally oversee every project, from the first call to the final debrief. You also have the backing of a team, so the work is delivered properly and on time.
