About the Webinar

Mental health challenges impact not only individuals but also the wider NDIS workforce, especially when claims arise that mental health issues are work-related injuries. With the growing prevalence of mental health concerns and compensation claims, NDIS providers need to adopt a proactive, risk-based approach to mitigating psychosocial hazards. This session will explore how NDIS providers, including smaller organizations working in an under-resourced sector, can effectively manage these risks. Key issues covered include:

  • Exploring the legal obligations of NDIS providers regarding mental health in the workplace.
  • Insights into the regulator’s expectations on mental health management for NDIS workers
  • What NDIS providers can and cannot ask about mental health during the hiring process.
  • Establishing robust frameworks to support mental health in the NDIS workplace.
  • Managing and supporting employees with mental health conditions while complying with anti-discrimination laws.
  • How NDIS providers can determine and implement reasonable adjustments to support workers facing mental health challenges.
  • Strategies for addressing key psychosocial hazards such as long working hours, bullying, changing work conditions, public interactions, financial stress, and personal pressures
