The learning library

Explore the modules.

Bite-sized, skills-based modules on individual psychosocial hazards. Take one, take a bundle, or build a complete workforce pathway.

Hazard topics in scope

Each topic becomes its own short module, built around the same three-part skill sequence. Employers choose which ones their workforce needs first.

01

High and low job demands

Excessive workloads, unrealistic time pressure, or too little meaningful work and prolonged underutilisation.

02

Low job control

Little influence over how work is done, the order it is done in, or when it is reasonable to stop.

03

Poor support

Limited practical help, unclear expectations and no one to turn to when work becomes difficult.

04

Lack of role clarity

Conflicting responsibilities and uncertainty about what good performance actually looks like.

05

Poor change management

Change that is announced late, explained poorly, or imposed without genuine consultation.

06

Inadequate recognition and reward

Effort that goes unnoticed, unfair pay practices and unclear pathways for progression.

07

Poor organisational justice

Inconsistent decisions, unclear processes and complaints that are never resolved.

08

Remote and isolated work

Limited contact with colleagues or supervisors, including lone work and dispersed sites.

09

Traumatic events or material

Exposure to traumatic incidents or distressing material, including repeated or indirect exposure through work.

10

Bullying

Repeated unreasonable behaviour that creates a risk to health and safety, and how to respond safely.

11

Harassment, including sexual harassment

Unwelcome or unlawful conduct, including sexual harassment, and appropriate reporting and response pathways.

12

Violence and aggression

Threats, physical violence, verbal aggression and intimidating conduct from customers, colleagues or other people at work.

13

Poor physical environment

Working conditions, equipment or environments that create psychological strain, including excessive noise, heat or unsuitable facilities.

14

Conflict and poor workplace relationships

Unresolved conflict, hostile interactions and strained working relationships that create ongoing risks to health and safety.

Module topics map to recognised psychosocial hazards, including those described in Safe Work Australia’s model Code of Practice. The final scope, grouping and sequence are being confirmed with employers, so we are not publishing a fixed list or count yet.

Selected bundles

Grouped around the work, not a fixed syllabus.

Bundles combine a small number of modules for a shared work context. The examples below are indicative; the final bundle structure is being confirmed.

Frontline and customer-facing teams

Workload, aggressive behaviour, harassment and conflict for teams dealing directly with the public.

Distributed and remote teams

Remote and isolated work, low support and unclear expectations across sites, shifts or regions.

High-demand periods

Workload, job control and change management around seasonal peaks, growth or restructuring.

New and first-line managers

Support, role clarity and organisational justice for people stepping into their first leadership role.

Complete workforce pathway

One consistent standard across the workforce.

The complete pathway is the full set of workforce foundational modules, sequenced so every team, site and shift works from the same language and the same expectations for escalation.

It is not a single course learners sit through in one session. Modules are completed as part of induction, team meetings or your existing risk review cycle, and can be revisited as work changes.

How learning works

Skills first.
No diagnosis.

Each module follows the same three-part sequence. Learners leave with a practised response, not just a page of information they have read once.

01

Identify the hazard

What it looks like in day-to-day work, how it shows up in behaviour and workload, and how to tell a workplace hazard apart from a personal issue.

02

Understand its effects

How sustained exposure affects thinking, relationships, performance and safety, without turning the module into a clinical or diagnostic exercise.

03

Practise what to do

Realistic workplace scenarios. Learners rehearse what to say, what not to do, who to involve and when to escalate, with clear role boundaries throughout.

Knowledge self-reflection, not mental health screening

A short reflection before and after each module shows the learner what they understood and what changed. There are no diagnostic mental health tests, no clinical scoring and no personal mental health data collected.

Leadership layer

A layer for leaders,
not a repeat of the basics.

The leadership layer is designed for owners, directors and managers. It includes access to every workforce foundational module, so leaders share the same language as their teams.

It then adds applied management content. The foundational lessons are not duplicated; the focus moves to what leaders must actually do inside the risk-management process.

  • Consultation with workers
  • Hazard identification
  • Risk controls
  • Documentation
  • Appropriate response
  • Practical checklists

What training can and cannot do

It can build capability

  • Give managers and workers a shared, practical vocabulary for psychosocial risk.
  • Build practised responses to common hazard situations, with clear role boundaries.
  • Support more consistent consultation, escalation and documentation.
  • Provide evidence that learning has been completed as part of your risk process.

It cannot do the work for you

  • It does not identify hazards in your workplace, or assess your specific risks.
  • It does not consult your workers on your behalf.
  • It does not implement or verify risk controls.
  • It does not guarantee legal compliance or certify your organisation against any standard.
