The Community Event of 2024
On behalf of FlourishDx, we are pleased to have curated the biggest and best psychological health and safety conference ever.
THE Psych Health and Safety Conference (PHS Con) is the first annual event by the same people who bring you the ‘Psych Health and Safety podcast’.
Featuring some of the biggest names internationally and locally and hand-picked case studies, the event will bring together more than 400 people and safety professionals in-person and hundreds more virtually for a community event like no other. Despite the size of the event, expect an intimate vibe with a focus on insightful conversations via interviews and fireside chats.
We look forward to welcoming you in-person or virtually for the first annual Psych Health and Safety Conference in June 2024!
Meet The Speakers
Key Conference Themes
The event will centre on several themes that will dominate discussions in businesses everywhere for the next decade: psychosocial risk management, burnout, the integrated approach to workplace mental health, and sexual harassment prevention.
Each of these themes are about creating good work that is good for people, profits and the planet. So expect links to sustainability, diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. A transdisciplinary approach is required, and PHS Con will cater to all audiences from human resources and health and safety related fields of work.
Psychosocial Risk Management
With all Australian states to have WHS regulations in force, there is an ongoing need to understand what good looks like to prevent foreseeable psychological harm to workers. Hear from experts and WHS regulators.
Burnout
One of the biggest themes coming out of the Covid pandemic will be discussed by the two foremost experts on the topic sharing how organisations can move towards sustainable people performance.
The Integrated Approach to Workplace Mental Health
10 years on from the landmark journal article, we have assembled the three main authors to discuss progress, including how the model has been adopted internationally by the likes of the WHO and ILO.
Sexual Harassment Prevention
Following the Respect@Work report in 2020, sexual harassment prevention has moved from a purely IR issue to a clear WHS issue. Hear from experts on how to address unsafe behaviour systemically through a risk-based lens.

First 200 in person registrations receive Leiter and Maslach’s latest book ‘The Burnout Challenge’ (signed by Christina Maslach).
Burnout is among the most significant on-the-job hazards facing workers today. It is also among the most misunderstood. In particular, we tend to characterize burnout as a personal issue-a problem employees should fix themselves by getting therapy, practicing relaxation techniques, or changing jobs. Christina Maslach and Michael P. Leiter show why this is not the case. Burnout also needs to be managed by the workplace. Citing a wealth of research data and drawing on illustrative anecdotes, The Burnout Challenge shows how organizations can change to promote sustainable productivity.
