Webinar Recording – Safe Minds, Sound Business: Managing Psychological Safety and Workplace Behaviour
As workplace health and safety requirements continue to evolve, understanding your responsibilities around psychological safety has never been more important.
On 22 July 2026, NORTH Link welcomed Sapphire Parsons, Senior Associate at Macpherson Kelley, for an informative webinar exploring Victoria’s new psychological safety regulations and what they mean for employers, business leaders and managers.
With Victoria’s psychological safety regulations commencing on 1 December 2025, businesses now have clear state-based obligations that align with national workplace health and safety reforms. While many organisations have already begun adapting to these changes, understanding how to apply the requirements in practice remains a challenge for many employers.
During this practical session, Sapphire provided valuable guidance on the steps organisations can take to create safer, healthier and more respectful workplaces while meeting their legal obligations.
