Wellness Wings™ Workshop

Wellness Wings: RACGP Accredited Workshops Empowering Healthcare Professionals

Our Wellness Wings Program helps build psychologically safe workplaces by taking a close look at the psychosocial risks impacting valued Healthcare Professionals in Australia.

Why Focus on Psychological Safety?

The Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System resulted in 65 recommendations, which the State government has committed to implementing. Recommendation 16 is “Establishing mentally healthy workplaces”.

Safe Work Australia has taken this recommendation, and also included the mental health components for Employers to understand their responsibilities. The model WHS laws now states that employers are responsible for managing psychosocial risks to protect mental health on the job.

Mental health in workplaces has become a priority. And so it should be.

Since 2020, the healthcare sector has faced critical staff shortages due to burnout and mental health impacts, with the issues of retainment and retention, plus retraining staff, becoming incredibly costly to Employers.

Healthcare professionals seek better training, support and education on how to deal, in a trauma sensitive way, with the mental health and wellbeing of patients and colleagues. Wellness Wings is here to answer that call.

Benefits for Healthcare Employers

• Retain and Support Valued Staff: Reduce turnover by offering tools and support for mental well-being.
• Build Trauma-Sensitive Environments: Equip teams with skills for trauma-informed patient and peer interactions.
• Enhance Workplace Culture: Foster a supportive, inclusive, and sustainable work environment.

Our trauma-informed approach equips practitioners with the tools needed to create safer, healthier work environments for themselves, their colleagues, and their patients. The goal is to upskill healthcare professionals, and positively impact their workplace safety, culture and sustainability, helping to ensure retention and enhancement of their work environment. This leads to better patient and client safety and treatment.
