Activity details
Building awareness about managing workplace psychosocial hazards, including sexual harassment, by providing $2 million over 2 years (2023–25) for training to be delivered to the providers who train Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) in the Commonwealth jurisdiction.
Implementation progress update
The Department of Employment and Workplace Relations engaged Episafe Pty Ltd to develop and deliver a HSR Train-the-Trainer Program. This involved equipping 100 participants to upskill HSRs to identify and support management of psychosocial hazards in the workplace, including sexual and gender-based harassment. The program included e-learning modules, trainer guides, fact sheets, and live workshops in each state and territory. Participant feedback confirmed high satisfaction with the training content. Participants noted improvements in their knowledge about the role of a HSR under the Commonwealth psychosocial health and safety regulations.
