Report checks pulse of Australia's mental health
Mental Health Australia has released a new report showing that rising household costs are directly damaging our mental health. The 2023 Report to the Nation, an independent annual benchmark survey conducted by Ipsos, found that cost of living was having a major impact on 58% of Australians while housing costs was affecting 41%. Significantly, 21% said cost was a barrier to receiving mental health support and 24% felt they should be able to solve their situation on their own.

National Safe Work Month 2023
October is National Safe Work Month - a time to commit to building a safe and healthy workplace free from both physical and psychological harm. The campaign is designed to encourage individuals and organisations to prioritise workplace safety and reduce the number of work-related injuries, illnesses and fatalities.

According to Safe Work Australia, work-related psychological injuries have longer recovery times, higher costs, and require more time away from work than physical injuries.

Overwhelmed by your workload?
Are your to-do lists stretching on and on? Maybe you’ve noticed that anxiety about how much is on your list is preventing you from concentrating on your current task?

In this Harvard Business Review article, clinical psychologist and author Alice Boyes offers some helpful suggestions on how to address being stressed by your workload.
