For NSW businesses with 10 to 60 staff
Manage psychosocial risk in your business, step by step
Psychosocial hazards are the parts of work that can harm people's mental health: high workload, poor support, unclear roles, conflict, bullying and aggression from customers. Clear Duty helps owners and managers find them and deal with them.

The 1 July 2026 change
From 1 July 2026, s 26A of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW) requires a business to comply with an approved code of practice, or manage the risk in a way that is equivalent or better.

What the law expects
Psychosocial hazards are covered by the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2025 (NSW), Part 3.2 Division 11.
Source: Work Health and Safety Regulation 2025 (NSW), Part 3.2 Division 11.
In NSW, the Regulation applies the hierarchy of control to psychosocial risks: where it is reasonably practicable, change the work itself before relying on training or procedures.
Source: Work Health and Safety Regulation 2025 (NSW), ss 55C(a) and 36.
Our reading of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2025 (NSW), s 55D, is that an employee assistance program or wellbeing policy on its own is not a control of a psychosocial hazard.
Who this is for
- NSW businesses with about 10 to 60 people, including casuals.
- Owners and operations managers without a safety manager.
- Anyone whose main answer so far has been an EAP or a wellbeing policy, and who wants to check what else is needed.
