  • Workplace Investigations and Safe Systems of Work

    Workplace Investigations and Safe Systems of Work
    2026/04/27
    Kate and Greg return to their virtual bar stools for their first legal decision discussion of series 3—this time tackling workplace investigations. Using the recent Department of Education NSW v SafeWork NSW decision as the backdrop, they unpack how timeliness, communication and the allocation of alternate duties during investigations are factors requiring employers design and focus. The context is sobering as the matter was prompted by a prolonged investigation that culminated in a worker’s attempted suicide. Kate and Greg unpack why timeliness, transparency, and procedural fairness are not just administrative issues but deeply human ones. As usual, a key thread throughout the episode is the distinction between process and outcome and whether employers have fit for purpose systems to assess risk, allocate alternative duties, and monitor investigations. Along the way, they question knee jerk formal investigations, and argue for earlier and more “human centred” options, that might actually be helpful not harmful. Heavy topic, sharp insights, a splash of humour—and a clear warning: leave people waiting for too long, and the consequences can be catastrophic. The episode closes with practical takeaways for employers: Re-examine what truly needs a formal investigation.Treat investigation processes as psychosocial hazards in their own right.Monitor timeliness and human impact, not just compliance.Build advisory capability and case management approaches. Never underestimate the potential for catastrophic harm when people are left in prolonged organisational limbo.

  • Psychosocial Regulations in Victoria: Three months in (A real case study in a real bar!)

    Psychosocial Regulations in Victoria: Three months in (A real case study in a real bar!)
    2026/03/31
    In this very special episode, Kate and Greg have literally walked into a bar. Tune in to the team’s firstever live podcast, recorded in a Melbourne bar and in front of an audience (and yes, drinks were involved). They’re joined by Catherine Jeffries, Director of Health, Safety & Wellbeing at Monash Health, who shares practical, frontline insights into leading a psychosocial risk management strategy within one of Victoria’s largest and most complex organisations. Together, they unpack what it really looks like to operate under Victoria’s psychosocial regulations—three months on. (And yes, Victoria was the final piece of the national regulatory puzzle. Kate would like it on the record that this was absolutely not her fault, despite Greg’s ongoing suggestions.) In this two-part episode, the team kicks off with the Monash Health case study, which takes listeners through a series of twists and turns: maintaining employee privacy in complaints and investigations, sharing aggregate data across internal teams, leveraging digital platforms for consultation and risk assessment, and—most controversially—the use of green, amber, and red risk rating matrices, and the potential implications they pose for WHS prosecution defence. In part two, Kate and Greg tackle when organisations should consider engaging psychosocial risk consultants, with CoPilot offering a few unsolicited thoughts of its own—before handing things over to a lively, audience driven Q&A. It’s practical, provocative, and a little chaotic. Settle in, grab your drink of choice, and enjoy the mayhem that is psychosocial risk.
