Psychosocial Risk Manager Training
Train Managers to Identify, Prevent and Manage Psychosocial Risks
Your Managers Are Either Your Biggest Risk — or Your Strongest Control
Our Psychosocial Risk Manager Training equips leaders with the skills to identify, manage and prevent psychosocial hazards in the workplace while helping organisations meet their obligations under Australian work health and safety legislation.
Practical, evidence-based and compliance-focused, this training helps managers become a critical control measure in your psychosocial risk management framework.
Why Psychosocial Risk Manager training Matters.
Psychosocial hazards such as excessive workloads, poor role clarity, workplace conflict, bullying, inadequate support, and ineffective management practices can lead to psychological injury claims, absenteeism, turnover, and regulatory action.
Under the NSW WHS Regulation 2025, employers must identify psychosocial hazards, assess risks, and implement appropriate control measures. Manager capability is a key component of this process.
From 1 July 2026, SafeWork NSW inspectors may request evidence that managers have received appropriate psychosocial risk training as part of an organisation's documented risk management approach.
A wellbeing webinar or mental health awareness session alone is unlikely to demonstrate compliance. Organisations need practical, documented, skills-based training that equips managers to recognise and manage psychosocial risks in everyday work.

What Managers Will Learn
Understanding Psychosocial Risks and WHS Obligations
Learn what psychosocial hazards are, how they arise through everyday management decisions, and what NSW workplace health and safety legislation requires from leaders.
Identifying Psychosocial Hazards Before They Escalate
Recognise early warning signs of workplace stress, conflict, burnout, bullying, poor job design, and other psychosocial risks before they become serious issues.
Managing Difficult Conversations with Confidence
Develop practical skills for addressing workload concerns, performance issues, interpersonal conflict, and employee distress in a legally defensible and supportive way.
Managers participate in realistic workplace scenarios and guided practice sessions, not just theory.
Creating Psychological Safety at Work
Discover evidence-based leadership behaviours that strengthen psychological safety, encourage early reporting of concerns, and improve team wellbeing and performance.
Documentation, Reporting and Escalation
Understand what should be documented, when issues should be escalated, and how to make decisions that withstand organisational and regulatory scrutiny.
Training Records and Compliance Documentation
Every participant receives a training completion record, providing documented evidence that your organisation has implemented psychosocial risk management training as an administrative control.
