A Different Kind of Panel for International Women's Day

Women Leading the Change:

Psychosocial Safety Beyond Compliance

The IWD Panel That Cut Through the Noise

You know psychosocial safety matters. You know it's mandatory.

But what actually works when you're trying to implement it in real workplaces with real constraints and real pressure?

On March 12, Nicole Turnbull sat down with three of Australia's leading practitioners - Alanna Ball (Women in Safety), Kana'e Dyas (PowerSkillsAI) and Lainie Cassidy (KPMG) - to answer that question.

For one hour, they talked about where implementation breaks down, what creates real change and what deserves your attention right now.

No theory. No buzzwords. Just honest insights from women doing this work across corporate, consultancy and advocacy every day.

What they covered:

  • Why paperwork doesn't change culture (and what does)

  • The gap between what organisations think psychosocial safety requires and what it actually takes

  • Where psychosocial safety efforts typically derail

  • What to focus on right now to make real progress

  • How to work with regulators, not fear them

  • Why leadership capability matters more than documentation.

Whether you're just starting your psychosocial safety journey or you've been doing this work for years, you'll find actionable insights you can use immediately.
