Victorian employers: the psychological health regulations have been in force since 1 December 2025.
Check your risk nowIn force now for every Victorian employer
If WorkSafe walked in tomorrow, could you prove you've done enough?
Every Victorian employer must now identify and control risks like bullying, heavy workloads and customer aggression, and inspectors can require you to produce your records. Sentrawell gives you the staff check-in, risk register, policies and evidence to show you've acted.

Find my gapsThe warning signs most owners miss
Each of these is a psychosocial risk. Left unmanaged, any one can turn into a complaint, a claim or an inspection.
- Good staff resigning without a clear reason
- More sick days, especially after busy periods
- Tension or conflict between team members
- Customers abusing staff, and nobody writing it down
- People opening or closing on their own
- Complaints "sorted out" with a chat but never recorded
Recognise even one? It's time to act.

Maximum fine for a company
$1.8M+
For failing to provide a safe working environment, including a psychologically safe one. That's 9,000 penalty units. Individual employers face up to 1,800 penalty units.
Inspections and notices
WorkSafe inspectors can require you to produce documents and answer questions, and can issue notices ordering you to fix a breach.
Psychological injury claims
A mental injury claim can mean long time off work, a team under pressure and an impact on your WorkSafe premium.
Losing good people
Staff leave workplaces where problems aren't dealt with. Replacing them costs time, money and customers.
No records? No proof.

Common questions
Can't find your answer? Get in touch
What are the penalties for not managing psychological risks?
In Victoria, failing to provide and maintain a safe working environment, which includes psychological health, carries maximum penalties of 9,000 penalty units for a company and 1,800 penalty units for an individual under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004. Penalty unit values are indexed each year.
Can WorkSafe ask to see my records?
Yes. WorkSafe inspectors can require you to produce documents and answer questions. Clear records of your hazards, controls and staff consultation make that far easier.
Do the rules apply to my business?
Yes. In Victoria, the Occupational Health and Safety (Psychological Health) Regulations 2025 apply to all employers, whatever their size. Other states and territories have similar duties in their work health and safety regulations.
Is Sentrawell legal advice?
No. Sentrawell provides practical tools and templates. For complex legal matters, we'll refer you to a workplace lawyer.
Are Pulse check-ins anonymous?
Yes. Names aren't collected with answers, and results only appear once at least 3 people have responded, shown as totals rather than individual responses.
Do you work with businesses outside Victoria?
Yes. The policy pack has a national edition for the other states and territories, and Pulse works for any Australian business.
Is Pulse available now?
Pulse is opening to founding businesses first. Join the founding list and we'll email you when your spot is ready.
