Queensland

Psychosocial risk in Queensland, made manageable.

Queensland's psychosocial code has applied since 1 April 2023. You follow it, or manage the risk another way that is equal or better. Averon walks you through it one step at a time.

Start the free check How it works

What the code asks, and where Averon helps.

Four steps, with your people consulted along the way. Averon guides each one. You make each call.

  1. 01

    Identify the hazards

    The free check walks you through 14 hazards, with where to look in your own records.

  2. 02

    Assess the risk

    You rate each hazard on Lucy's 5×5 matrix, with plain descriptions of each level.

  3. 03

    Control it

    Choose controls with the hierarchy beside you: change the work first, not only support after harm.

  4. 04

    Review when things change

    There is no fixed timetable. Averon reminds you before your review date, and you can revisit any hazard when things change.

The free template, and the step after it.

Since People at Work closed, Workplace Health and Safety Queensland points businesses to its free psychosocial risk assessment template, which follows the 14 hazards in the Queensland code. It is a good place to start.

Averon picks up from there: a register, a plan, your people's view in anonymous totals, and a reminder when something changes. Lucy reviews it with you if you want her.
