Workplace stress isn’t just a people problem, it’s now a compliance requirement.
South Australia’s Psychosocial Regulations mean businesses must manage risks like workload pressure, bullying, and poor organisational culture.

We asked the Principal Inspector to break down what you need to know and how to protect your people, and your business.

Are your employees stressed… or are they actually at risk?
Many workplaces don’t realise that common pressures, unclear roles, heavy workload, conflict, or even subtle behaviours, aren’t just “part of the job.” They’re psychosocial hazards, and ignoring them can cost you good people, productivity, and culture.

The good news?
You can prevent the harm before it happens, and it’s easier than you think.

ReturnToWorkSA & SafeWork SA have created a FREE 1-hour course designed specifically for managers, business owners, practice managers, WHS/HR leaders and anyone responsible for staff wellbeing.

In this short but powerful module, you’ll learn how to:

✔️ Spot psychosocial hazards early

✔️ Understand your legal duties

✔️ Use a simple 4-step process to manage risks

✔️ Prevent burnout, conflict and mental harm

This isn’t another box-ticking exercise, it's a practical roadmap to building a workplace where people feel supported, valued and safe.

Today is , an important day to raise awareness of the challenges faced by babies born preterm and their families.

GPEx was proud to attend the World Prematurity Thank You Morning Tea held at SAHMRI today, where SA Pathology and SAHMRI announced the ongoing partnership to transition O3TTP from a successful pilot into a routine healthcare service for South Australian women.

GPEx’s partnership has been critical to the success of this work, helping to support better outcomes for mothers and babies. Each year, more than 23,000 babies are born preterm (before 37 weeks) in Australia, highlighting the importance of initiatives like O3TTP.

Thank you to SAHMRI Women and Kids for hosting this event and continuing to champion the health and wellbeing of preterm babies and their families.
