About the Webinar

Mental health issues not only impact the individual, but also their workplace, particularly where there is a claim that the mental health is a workplace injury. With a tripling of mental health compensation claims in the last 20 years, the challenge is for organisations to take a proactive and risk -based approach to minimising psycho/social hazards. This session will examine the lessons from the decision in Kozarov v State of Victoria [2022] HCA 12 and other cases, including:

  • An analysis of the duty of care of employers and Codes of Practice
  • The regulator’s guidelines on mental health management in the workplace
  • The treatment of mental health at the recruitment stage - what can employer’s ask?
  • Establishing and implementing policies, procedure and training
  • Disability discrimination and the treatment of employees with a mental health condition
  • How are “reasonable adjustments” assessed in the mental health space?
  • Strategies for identifying and managing some of the perceived mental health triggers such as working hours, bullying, changed work conditions and rosters, public abuse, financial and personal stress
