From Policy to Practice: Building Psychosocial Safety That Actually Works

05 May 2026
Workshop , Workforce & HR Stream

Psychosocial health and safety is now a board-level risk, a workforce retention lever, and a regulatory obligation with real teeth. But what does effective management actually look like in practice on a mine site? This workshop brings together mining company leaders and workforce specialists to share what's working, what's failing, and what the regulatory landscape means for operators in 2026 and beyond. Through facilitated fireside chat, small-group problem solving, and open Q&A, participants will tackle FIFO mental health, contractor psychosocial risk, leadership accountability, and incident reporting culture. Leave with specific and actionable approaches to implement in your organisation.

Identify one psychosocial safety gap in your current site-level practice and commit to implementing a specific corrective action within 30 days of returning to your organisation.
