Building Resilient Workplaces: Managing the Risks of Psychosocial Harm at Work
2025 Psychosocial Hazards Risk Management Workshops – Continually improve how you enhance psychosocial safety and minimise risks for your staff
WorkUP is excited to offer leaders and managers practical strategies for enhancing workforce wellbeing and sustainability. This opportunity is made possible through our partnership with Kerriann Dear, an experienced organisational and WHS social worker, and current WorkCover QLD Board Director.
Our workshop series focuses on the Queensland Managing the Risks of Psychosocial Harm at Work Code of Practice 2022 (the Code). We’ll integrate compliance with the Code while aligning with WorkUP’s Workforce Capability Framework.
In preparation for the upcoming Resilient Workplaces Workshops, we’ve reviewed evidence to identify sector-specific psychosocial risks and best-practice strategies for mitigation. Our findings highlight the demanding and intense nature of work within specialist gendered violence and women’s health services, which can expose workers to risks such as:
- Burnout
- Vicarious trauma
- Compassion fatigue
- Other mental health impacts
These risks highlight the importance of proactive management in creating safer, more resilient workplaces that support both worker wellbeing and service sustainability.

Kerriann will draw on this evidence to guide your organisation in responding to these challenges. With emerging collective care models, downloadable resources, actionable insights, and practical tools, we also offer direct consultation with Kerriann to help identify and tailor solutions for your workplace.
