Course Information
Psychosocial hazards are now a clear legal obligation in Victoria — not an optional wellbeing initiative. Employers are required to identify, assess, and control risks such as workload, job demands, bullying, exposure to trauma, and poor organisational systems.
Managing Psychosocial Hazards in Victorian Workplaces is a practical course designed for employers, managers, and those with WHS responsibilities. It explains what the Victorian regulations require, how WorkSafe expects risks to be managed, and what “reasonably practicable” looks like in real workplaces.
This course moves beyond awareness. It focuses on employer duties, risk management steps, consultation requirements, and documentation expectations. Learners are shown how psychosocial hazards fit within existing WHS systems, rather than being treated as a separate or subjective issue.
The content reflects current Victorian regulatory requirements and provides clear guidance that can be applied immediately.
What You’ll Learn:
- What psychosocial hazards are and why they must be managed
- Employer duties under the Victorian OHS Act and Regulations
- Identifying and assessing psychosocial risks in the workplace
- Implementing practical and proportionate control measures

Clear obligations. Practical steps. Built for compliance.
This course helps Victorian employers understand what is required, what evidence matters, and how to manage psychosocial risks in a way that meets legal expectations and supports safer workplaces.
