New Psychosocial Regulations – What Employers Need to Know

Description

Event Details

21 November 2025, 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm

From 1 December 2025, the Occupational Health and Safety (Psychological Health) Regulations 2025 (‘Regulations‘) and Compliance Code will come into effect in Victoria.

The Regulations will require employers in Victoria to identify psychosocial hazards and control the associated risks, so far as is reasonably practicable. While these obligations appear new, the duty to proactively manage psychosocial risks already exist under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 (Vic). The new Regulations, however, bring added clarity and expectations of compliance, and align with regulations introduced in other Australian states and territories.

In light of these upcoming changes, it is now more important than ever for employers to ensure their systems, policies and training are aligned with the updated legal framework and more stringent reporting requirements.

On Friday, 21 November 2025, we will be running a FREE webinar where we will provide an essential overview of the new Regulations, their implications, and the steps employers should take to prepare.

The webinar will cover:

  • An overview of the Psychological Health Regulations 2025 and Compliance Code
  • What constitutes a ‘psychosocial hazard’
  • Employer duties and “reasonably practicable” controls
  • How the new requirements interact with existing OHS and workplace behaviour obligations
  • Legal risks of non-compliance
  • Key actions employers should take before commencement of the Regulations
