The Psychosocial Safety and Leadership Institute is bringing together dedicated leaders, HR professionals, WHS practitioners and changemakers across Australia for 2 transformative days in September 2026.
As workplace psychosocial safety moves from compliance to genuine cultural transformation, these events offer a unique opportunity to connect with the decision makers who are driving this shift across every industry.
Three Events, One Powerful Movement:
Psychosocial Safety Summit - A full day of expert insights, practical strategies and connection
Psychosocial Safety Workshop - Panel with 2025 Awards winners and a Round Table for senior leaders on practical governance that lifts psychosocial safety beyond compliance
Psychosocial Safety and Leadership Awards - Celebrating excellence in teamwork, leadership and innovation in psychosocial safety.

While others are still stuck in awareness mode, this live virtual session gives you everything you need to take action. You'll walk away with:
A ready-to-go 90-day plan tailored to your organisation
Business case templates to secure buy-in and budget
Scripts that uncover real risks (not just feelings)
A leadership presentation you can use next week
Full workbook with every tool and template.

Most change initiatives fail - not because of the strategy, but because of how people are managed through it. When done well, change builds resilience, trust, and connection. When done poorly, it creates confusion, resistance, and psychosocial risk.
In this interactive webinar, Blyde will show you how to lead change the human way. You'll discover:
What really triggers resistance - and how to prevent it
Simple tools to build trust and confidence during times of uncertainty
How to communicate change clearly without overwhelming your team.

The unique psychosocial risks men may face
Practical tools to support men's mental health and wellbeing
How to build a culture of safety, connection and support.
And yes - even though it's Secret Men's Business, everyone is welcome!
What Happens When Safety Fails
With Tony Morris

When safety systems fall short leaders are the ones in the hot seat.
This isn't a lecture. It's a confronting conversation about the legal personal and organisational consequences of failing to manage WHS risks and the steps leaders need to take to avoid being blindsided when it's too late.
Tony shows you the non-negotiable legal realities and strategic shifts required to protect your organisation and yourself. Learn:
Court Reality: What really happens when a WHS case goes to court.
Legal Failures: Common legal failures that catch organisations off guard.
Strategic Priority: How to elevate WHS from compliance task to strategic priority.
Accountability: What accountability looks like before, during and after an incident.
Psychosocial Risk: Why psychosocial risks are no longer a grey area under the law.
This session will challenge the way you think about responsibility risk and the real cost of complacency.

The Overlooked Psychosocial Hazard on your WHS Risk Register
With Dr Caroline Howe

Most leaders still treat loneliness like a ‘culture’ problem. It isn't. Under WHS law, it is a foreseeable psychosocial risk - one that drives psychological injury, derails return-to-work and fuels disengagement long before a claim is lodged.
Here's what you get:
The Risk Roadmap: A complete 30–60–90 day plan for tackling workplace loneliness.
WHS Compliant Controls: How to use ‘reasonably practicable’ actions to manage this foreseeable hazard.
Early Detection Tools: The Signals of Disconnection checklist and leader conversation scripts.
RTW Integration: Templates to embed social reconnection into your Return-to-Work process.
