Wellfirst Solutions combines traditional workplace safety auditing with a specific focus on psychosocial risks — giving businesses a more complete picture of workplace safety.
Based on real-world audit experience, we help you identify what isn't working, close the gaps and build practical systems your people actually use.
A psychosocial safety audit is a structured assessment of the work-related factors that can affect psychological health and safety. Where a general safety audit looks at physical hazards and hardware controls, a psychosocial safety audit looks at the work itself — how it is designed, organised and managed — and how that affects people's mental health.
Under Australian WHS laws, managing psychosocial risk is now a core health and safety duty. A psychosocial safety audit helps you meet that duty by identifying hazards, evaluating your controls and giving you a practical plan to fix what isn't working.
It's a legal duty. Australian WHS laws explicitly require businesses to manage psychosocial risks at work.
It prevents harm. Psychological injuries are a leading cause of workplace claims and lost productivity.
It protects culture. Unmanaged psychosocial risk erodes trust, engagement and performance.
It's your point of difference. A complete safety picture needs both physical and psychological safety.
Our audits assess the recognised psychosocial hazards that can cause psychological harm — and how well each is being managed in your workplace.
Workload, time pressure, shift patterns and emotional demands.
The level of control people have over how and when they do their work.
The quality of supervisor and peer support available to workers.
Role conflict, ambiguity and conflicting expectations about responsibilities.
Bullying, harassment, conflict and the quality of workplace relationships.
Remote or isolated work, exposure to traumatic events, and workplace violence.
Any business with a duty to manage work-related psychosocial risks can benefit — but it's especially important for organisations facing particular pressures or regulatory scrutiny.
Construction, mining and other high-risk workplaces with demanding work and higher injury exposure.
Businesses with complex workforces, multiple sites, shift work and high turnover.
Organisations seeing stress-related absenteeism, complaints or workers' compensation claims increase.
Businesses that want to get ahead of their WHS duties and strengthen their safety culture before issues arise.
A practical, evidence-based process — not a box-ticking exercise. We look at both your systems and how your workplace really runs.
We review your policies, procedures, incident data, hazard registers and consultation records to understand the foundations.
We walk your workplace and talk directly with workers, supervisors and managers about how work really feels.
We assess each psychosocial hazard and evaluate how well your existing controls are working and being used.
You receive a clear, prioritised report of findings — what's working, what isn't, and what to fix first.
We help you build a practical corrective action plan with clear owners, priorities and timeframes.
We support implementation and continuous improvement so your systems are genuinely used, not left on a shelf.
An audit is only valuable if it leads to change. After your psychosocial safety audit, you get more than a report:
A prioritised corrective action plan — clear, sequenced actions with owners, timeframes and measures.
Implementation support — we work with you to close the gaps, not just list them.
Follow-up and review — to confirm controls are working and systems are genuinely being used.
Management support — training and guidance so your leaders can sustain the improvements.
A general WHS audit focuses on physical hazards, systems, documentation and compliance. A psychosocial safety audit focuses specifically on the work-related psychosocial hazards that can cause psychological harm — and how they're managed.
Physical hazards · plant & equipment · documentation · systems · compliance
Job demands · control · support · role clarity · relationships · work environment & trauma
