Hyatt Regency Sydney
8-9 September 2026
Join leaders, researchers and practitioners shaping the future of psychosocial safety at work. PHSCON brings together global experts, regulators and industry voices to explore what actually works — from systems, culture and consultation to collaboration and compliance. Across two days, you’ll engage with evidence, debate assumptions and leave with practical insights you can apply in real organisations.
Consultation
How organisations move beyond box-ticking to meaningfully engage workers, build trust and surface real psychosocial risks.
Collaboration
Breaking down silos between HR, WHS, leaders and workers to deliver coordinated, effective psychosocial risk management.
Culture
How leadership, systems and work design shape psychosocial risk — and what it takes to create healthier, more sustainable work.
Compliance
What good psychosocial compliance looks like in practice, from regulatory expectations to prevention-focused systems that stand up to scrutiny.
Key Speakers
Hear from global experts and industry leaders shaping how psychosocial safety is understood, governed and applied in real workplaces.
