Lest we forget

22/04/2026

Firstly and most importantly, Elijah Hollands deserves to be well supported by all of us – our community, media, his employer, his team mates and his social network. He is now in hospital receiving treatment for his mental illness and I wish him all the very best. He has been very well supported by his family, which makes a big difference.

Secondly, WorkSafe Victoria are now investigating the Carlton Football Club in regards to this incident. This very public case demonstrates the need for every employer to know how to support an employee with a mental illness. It is a legal obligation to provide workplace adjustments, to protect their privacy and to create a mentally healthy workplace.

Unless you have been living under a rock, you will have heard the term “psychosocial safety." It is now a legal requirement in every state in Australia to identify and control psychosocial hazards in the workplace. This has now strengthened the previous requirements in a very process driven, step by step framework. It is not complicated but it is essential that you start now.

If you are a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU), that means CEOs, Executives, Directors and Employers, this is now your responsibility and you are liable for this.

To learn more, read the Model Code of Practice: 'Managing psychosocial hazards at work' on the Safe Work Australia website or feel free to reach out to me if you need to start your action plan.

We must all work together to protect, support and promote mental health.

WorkSafe Victoria has entered the Elijah Hollands saga, announcing on Tuesday that they will begin a review into whether Carlton breached an occupational health and safety law.

Psychosocial safety is now a legal and governance responsibility — not simply a people initiative.

If you are a CEO, GM or Director of HR & Safety, you are accountable for how psychosocial risk is identified, managed and monitored across your organisation under current WHS regulations.

Strategic Systems for Psychosocial Safety is a free online Executive Briefing designed specifically for senior decision-makers.

In 45 focused minutes (plus live Q&A), we will explore:

• Executive-level obligations under psychosocial WHS regulations
• What strong governance and oversight look like in practice
• How to move from reactive responses to integrated systems
• The key gaps most organisations are not yet addressing

This is not a general wellbeing session. It is a strategic leadership discussion.

This event is now just two weeks to away!
Tues 5 May 2026
10:00–11:00am AEST
Online | Free

If psychosocial risk sits within your remit, now is the time to strengthen your oversight.

Registrations closing soon.

I know times are tough when…

I set up my Nutrition Activation at a workplace this week with empty bottles of energy drinks and sugary drinks to demonstrate the amount of sugar, salt and caffeine per bottle.

When I returned, they were gone. Turns out you can cash them in at the ‘container deposit scheme’ or ‘return and earn’ for 10 cents. I hope the person puts their 70 cents towards a good cause.

Keep recycling everyone. 😀

Psychosocial safety is no longer just an HR conversation — it’s an executive responsibility.

With updated WHS regulations requiring organisations to actively manage psychosocial hazards, CEOs, GMs and Directors are expected to demonstrate clear oversight and integrated risk management.

On Tuesday 5 May, we are hosting a free online Executive Briefing designed specifically for senior decision-makers.

Strategic Systems for Psychosocial Safety will explore:

• What executive accountability looks like under current regulations
• How to embed psychosocial risk into organisational strategy
• The difference between surface-level initiatives and structured governance
• Practical steps to strengthen your leadership oversight

This is a 45-minute strategic briefing + 15-minute live Q&A.

If you hold responsibility for workforce risk, compliance or organisational performance, this session is designed for you.

Secure your spot. Registrations now open.

Really??? The entire bottom shelf???

Thank you to Stacey McKenna , Alexandra L Harvey and Micaela Davis for organising such a brilliant conference today. I presented “Busy & Burnout Proof” at the Meat Business Women Conference in Sydney.

What is most interesting as a speaker is what the audience wants to chat about afterwards. Topics of conversation after my keynote included:

- being so burnt out that they can’t talk about it without breaking down
- mother guilt that persists 24/7
- is it ok to be vulnerable & share as a leader? ( the answer is yes, it builds a huge amount of trust & connection)
- the brief of marriage breakdown
- the loss of loved ones
- perimenopause and menopause
- insomnia (see above!)
- experience anxiety for the first time
- how to motivate unmotivated employees
- the uplifting, generational life changing impacts of PALM employees being in Oz
- being the rock for everyone
- role modelling boundaries as a leader

Thank you to every one of you for opening up these meaningful conversations.

What is your main take away from today?
