Today, we join people around the world in recognising World Mental Health Day - a time to raise awareness, spark conversations, and stand together in support of mental health for all.

Mental health deserves the same care and attention we give to physical health. Yet, for many people, getting the right support is still out of reach. Stigma, isolation, and limited access to care can make it hard for individuals to ask for help when they need it most.

This day reminds us that we all have a part to play - by listening, showing kindness, and creating spaces where it’s safe to talk about how we’re really doing. Small actions can make a big difference.

At Work OH&S is here to support anyone who may be struggling. Whether it’s through professional guidance, a safe conversation, or helping connect you with the right care, we’re committed to supporting mental wellbeing in every workplace and community we serve.

Let’s use today to pause, check in with ourselves and others, and remember - mental health matters, every day. If you or someone you know needs support, reach out or a chat - you’re not alone. Visit - https://ap1.hubs.ly/y0jQsN0

Across Australian workplaces, burnout is rising. A 2024 survey by the Corporate Mental Health Alliance Australia found that 46% of employees reported experiencing burnout, while Robert Half research revealed that four in five Australian workers feel at least some level of burnout, often due to excessive workloads and chronic understaffing.

For employees, burnout often shows up as exhaustion, cynicism, and a loss of motivation. For leaders, it can look like emotional detachment, decision fatigue, or the inability to switch off. The impact extends beyond the individual affecting team morale, safety, and organisational culture.

Recognising burnout is the first step toward meaningful change. At Work OH&S takes an empathetic, evidence-based approach to workplace wellbeing, understanding that behind every statistic is a person trying to do their best under pressure. We work closely with both employees and leaders to identify early signs of burnout and create sustainable, supportive solutions that prioritise psychological health.

If burnout is beginning to take hold in your team or leadership, now is the time to act. Visit https://ap1.hubs.ly/y0jqD20 to learn how we can help you build a healthier, more resilient workplace.

A new global meta-analysis published in Clinical Psychology Review (July 2025) has highlighted a concerning truth: PTSD among active first responders remains alarmingly high. The study found prevalence rates of around 14.3% for those exposed to routine trauma, nearly double that of disaster-only scenarios, and showed that cases have been rising over time - particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic. Importantly, first responders across all roles face equal risk, underscoring the urgent need for proactive, evidence-based strategies to protect their wellbeing.

At At Work OH&S, we specialise in supporting first responders on their rehabilitation journey. Whether recovering from trauma, stress, or injury, our tailored programs focus on restoring health, building resilience, and helping individuals return to work safely and confidently. We combine evidence-based treatment, trauma-informed care, and practical strategies to reduce stigma and encourage early help-seeking. We’re dedicated to providing first responders with the highest standard of care and recovery support, helping them regain health, resilience, and confidence after trauma or injury.

Shift work is a cornerstone of many industries, but it comes with significant health challenges. According to Comcare's August 2025 Workplace Research Monthly, approximately 20% of Australian workers engage in some form of shift work, leading to disrupted sleep patterns, chronic fatigue, and increased health risks. Many shift workers perceive fatigue as an unavoidable part of the job, often pushing through exhaustion due to workplace culture. Competing responsibilities, such as family and leisure, further hinder their ability to prioritise daytime sleep, exacerbating the issue.

The research highlights the importance of behavioural and psychological support, along with organisational-level interventions like flexible work scheduling and designated nap spaces, to effectively manage sleep and fatigue.

If you're looking to implement strategies that support shift workers' health and wellbeing, At Work OH&S can assist. Our team specialises in developing tailored solutions to enhance workplace safety and productivity.

- Reset workplace habits for healthier, more productive days

This year, R U OK? Day is today - but asking “Are you OK?” shouldn’t be reserved for just one day.

The theme, “Ask R U OK? Any Day,” reminds us that a meaningful check-in can happen all year round. It’s about fostering empathy and connection so that small concerns don’t grow into bigger ones.

At Work OH&S believes in creating a culture where mental wellbeing is front of mind every single day. When we reach out with compassion - whether it's to friends, family, or colleagues - we’re building a more supportive environment for everyone.

Let’s make "Are you OK?" part of everyday conversation - not just an annual moment.
