| Summary: | This report spotlights the insights from the ongoing Design for Care research project about the key psychosocial risks in the Healthcare and Social Assistance (H&SA) industry, and aspects of work design that can protect against these risks.
In this brief report, we provide an analysis of Design for Care data from five partnering organisations in aged care (Whiddon and Bankstown City Aged Care), disability care (Lifestart and Macarthur Disability Services) and out of home care (Key Assets Australia). Our report highlights the critical role that work design plays in shaping mental health.
The findings are outlined in the full report and contribute new knowledge that can support efforts to prevent injuries from occurring and minimise their consequences when they do occur. |
