Psychosocial Safety

Who provides psychosocial safety audits in Queensland?

Short answer: Dedicated safety and risk management consultancies, such as Wellfirst Solutions, provide psychosocial safety audits in Queensland. These audits identify psychosocial hazards and risks at work and help businesses meet their WHS duties to manage psychological health and safety — something every Queensland PCBU has a legal duty to do.

What is a psychosocial safety audit?

A psychosocial safety audit is a structured assessment of the psychological health and safety of a workplace. It looks beyond physical hazards to the work-related factors that can cause psychological harm — such as high job demands, low job control, poor support, role conflict, and exposure to potentially traumatic events (including occupational violence and remote or isolated work).

Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Qld), every person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) has a duty to manage psychosocial risks at work "so far as is reasonably practicable". A psychosocial safety audit is the practical way to find out whether you are meeting that duty — before an incident, complaint or regulator engagement forces the issue.

What a qualified provider should cover

  • Evidence-based hazard identification — reviewing the 13 known psychosocial hazards (from the model WHS Code of Practice) rather than a generic "wellbeing" checklist.

  • Assessment of both system and practice — checking documented policies AND what actually happens day-to-day on site.

  • A clear priority action plan — ranked, practical controls you can implement, not a report that sits on a shelf.

  • Experience in your industry — a provider who understands construction, mining and other high-risk environments.
