This WorkCover Board Tasmania project will develop a Workplace Mental Health Framework to establish a consistent and integrated approach to mentally healthy workplaces in Tasmania.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Tasmanians have the highest rate of long-term mental health conditions in Australia. This demonstrates the need for practical measures to be implemented to improve the health and wellbeing outcomes of all Tasmanians. It has been shown that ensuring prevention, promotion and responses to mental health in workplaces supports mentally healthy workplace culture.
The project is led by WorkSafe Tasmania in collaboration with the Department of Health’s Community, Mental Health and Wellbeing.
