Most businesses think they're compliant with the new psychosocial safety laws.
Most aren't.
SafeWork regulators are actively auditing right now, and in most organisations we review, the same three gaps keep showing up:
1. Psychosocial hazards aren't in the risk register.
They're sitting in a separate wellbeing program — not in the formal safety system where regulators expect them.
2. Training is the only control.
Training matters, but regulators want to see it alongside systems-level controls like workload management and job design. It can't carry the compliance burden alone.
3. Board oversight isn't documented.
Directors might be across it verbally, but without minuted discussions and formal reporting, that's a governance gap — with personal liability implications.
The other issue? Risk assessments that lack independence and rigour. A survey and a summary won't cut it.
We've put together a free 5-Minute Audit Readiness Checklist covering the six areas regulators are reviewing. It takes five minutes and gives you a clear picture of where you sit.
