Psychosocial Safety

The foundation of a safe screen workplace: identifying your unique hazards to determine the precise supports your team requires.

Navigate psychosocial safety with confidence

With psychosocial safety now a legal requirement across the country, all screen workplaces must identify hazards and eliminate or minimise the risk of harms.

Screen Well is here to help. We provide expert guidance to help your teams make cost-effective decisions that achieve tangible results and are aligned with leading industry practice, as defined in the Australian Screen Industry Mental Health Action Plan (MHAP).

  • “This is a great course. Can we make this course mendatory for all producers, directors and HODs?”

  • “This is a great resource, and ideally completion of the course should be a requirement for businesses receiving government funding - at producer, director and HOD level. Applying these strategies from development onwards so that management of these issues can be factored into the budget and schedule at an early stage would be highly beneficial”.
