WorkWell Essentials Pilot Evaluation Evaluation Report
While online resources such as WorkSafe Victoria’s WorkWell Toolkit are useful, small and medium businesses require more direct and individualised support to identify and address workplace psychosocial hazards. In response to this need, WorkSafe Victoria (WSV) adapted their Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Essentials program model and engaged seven OHS Essentials Consultants to offer businesses, with the equivalent of up to 60 employees, a mental health focused service.
