In Australia today, we work more than we eat, sleep, hobby, parent, care or anything else. For this reason, we need to achieve wellness and thriving in both our work time and our non-work time.
Good news: Since 2020, worker claims for serious physical health injuries continue to decrease.
Bad news: Psychosocial worker claims have increased by 60% in the last 20 years.
