Psychosocial Safety in Practice:
A Conversation Starter Pack for Aged Care
A practical resource to help workers, teams and leaders start conversations about psychosocial safety.
This resource pack has been developed to support aged care and community care organisations to start practical conversations about psychosocial safety.
It is designed to help workers, teams and leaders recognise work-related pressures, identify psychosocial hazards, strengthen protective factors and consider when further consultation, review, training or action may be needed.
The resources provide a starting point for reflection and discussion, helping organisations notice where psychosocial risks may be emerging and where further support, review or prevention work may be required.

Who it is resource for?
This resource pack has been developed for aged care and community care organisations that want to strengthen conversations about psychosocial safety, workplace pressures and prevention.
The pack is designed to support discussion across different settings, including team meetings, supervision, reflective practice, leadership conversations, quality improvement activities, training follow-up and planning for psychosocial risk prevention.
It is particularly relevant for organisations that want to move psychosocial safety beyond wellbeing initiatives and into everyday conversations about work design, workload, communication, support, consultation, workplace behaviour and safe systems of work.
