Research and Partnerships

Partnership Models

When developing large-scale projects, consider framing the survey scope and adapting language for specific workforces and ensure alignment with WHS and workforce requirements.
Surveys can be rolled out across entire sectors or workforce groups, either online or paper-based, with strict anonymity safeguards.
Findings can be compared to both Australian and international COPSOQ reference values. This allows sectors to understand their position relative to peers and global best practice in psychosocial risk management.
Clear, accessible outputs, from detailed reports to short policy briefs that highlight strengths, risks and practical implications for workforce health and wellbeing.

A sector-wide view of risks and strengths across a sector or workforce, helping identify priority areas for intervention and resource allocation.
Results can support policy development by showing where psychosocial risks are most acute and which protective factors matter most. This creates an evidence base for WHS standards and enforcement.
By collaborating with national international COPSOQ networks, projects can compare conditions across borders and industries, supporting global learning about safe, healthy work.
Outcomes could include tailored resources (e.g., frameworks, toolkits, workshops) that make findings actionable for stakeholders, workers and employers.

Research collaborations — Studies with academic institutions to explore psychosocial working conditions, evaluate interventions or contribute to comparative international projects.
Industry projects — Sector-wide initiatives to map risks, identify protective factors and support workforce-wide wellbeing strategies.
Policy collaborations — Work to embed psychosocial risk assessment in WHS frameworks, develop benchmarks and inform regulatory guidance.
