MENTAL INJURY: Difficult Conversations, WorkCover & Employer Obligations

 

Major changes to workplace mental injury laws are here — are you prepared?

Victoria has recently introduced significant reforms to how mental injuries are defined, assessed and compensated. These changes reshape employer obligations, tighten eligibility thresholds, and place greater scrutiny on workplace practices.

Supported by Constructive Legal Solutions, this Masterclass offers practical, end-to-end guidance, from navigating difficult workplace conversations through to managing mental injury WorkCover claims, legal obligations, and return-to-work best practice.


This masterclass will cover:

  • Mental Health @ Work 2026 – From Difficult to Required Conversations: Blake Redding, Head of Workplace Psychology
  • Learn practical strategies to manage difficult conversations with greater confidence, clarity and effectiveness — a key leadership skill identified by members stepping into leadership and team development roles.
  • Employers’ Rights and Obligations in Mental Injury WorkCover Claims: Timothy Ashton - Constructive Legal Solutions - Henty's Lawyers

Understand what has changed under Victoria’s recent reforms, key lessons learned since implementation, and practical steps to protect your business, remain compliant, and support injured workers in returning to work.


You will leave with a clearer understanding of:

  • What has changed, and what it means for your business
  • How new exclusionary provisions impact claims
  • Where employers are now most exposed
  • Practical steps to reduce risk and respond with confidence

Don’t wait for a claim to test your understanding. Get ahead of the changes and protect your organisation.
