Incident Reporting
Anonymous workplace incident reporting
Give your people a way to report what's actually happening, and build the evidence that you acted.
Trusted by Hundreds of Leading Australian Businesses
Give your people somewhere safe to report
Anonymous workplace incident reporting is a workplace channel that lets staff report hazards, misconduct or unsafe behaviour without providing their name or any detail that identifies them.
Without one, hazards don't just disappear. Staff vent to each other, nothing gets logged, and you find out at the exit interview, the compensation claim, or the inspector's visit.
With Foremind you get a clearer picture of what's happening, and a documented record of how you responded.
How it works
Report
Any staff member with a Foremind account opens the platform on their phone or desktop, describes what happened, and selects the hazard type.
Notify
The report appears immediately in your admin dashboard. No inbox, no email chain, no paper form.
Act
You link the report to a risk, assign a rating, record the control you put in place, and set a review date.
Admins can also log risks directly, so both staff reports and management observations feed the same record.

I've been using Foremind as the EAP provider for +3 years now and have had a really positive experience. While they may be a smaller player compared to some of the larger global providers, the quality of service is absolutely comparable. The platform is intuitive, the support offering is strong, and the overall experience for employees has been consistently positive.

A modern & proactive view of mental health exists that is refreshing to see. Great resources exist on their platform & informative & practical webinars are offered that always hit the mark. Also, easy to deal with in a way that feels like a partnership not a provider/client relationship.

CEO at The Snow Foundation
Foremind’s work is inspirational. We are all interested in improving positive mindsets and wellbeing.. and workers don’t always have the opportunity to have that wellbeing check in. There’s not that culture of putting your hand up and saying you’re not okay.

Owner, Spotted Frog Kindergarten
I've noticed that the team's morale has been at an all-time high this year, and I think a lot of that has come from having a service like Foremind in place.

How anonymous is anonymous?
Completely. Foremind does not collect a name, an email address, or any identifying detail.
There is no hidden field for an administrator to unlock, because the information was never captured.That is a step beyond confidential.
Confidential means the organisation knows who you are and promises not to tell. Anonymous means there is nothing to tell.
Your admin sees what happened, when, and which hazard type it relates to. That is the whole record, and it is enough to act on.
Compliance
How it supports your psychosocial duties
Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and its state equivalents, a PCBU must eliminate or minimise psychosocial risks so far as is reasonably practicable, and must consult workers in doing so.
Anonymous reporting is one of the few consultation mechanisms that reaches the hazards workers will not raise in a team meeting.
Regulators don't just ask what you did. They ask what you knew, and when.
Identify and assess
Reports come in tagged by hazard type and link straight to your risk register.
Control and review
You record the control, attach evidence, and set a review date the platform reminds you about.
Documented as you go
The four-step Code of Practice cycle, evidenced at each step, not reconstructed for an audit.
Report on every hazard type
Staff can report any psychosocial hazard, from bullying and aggression through to workload, low job control and unclear roles, plus physical safety hazards, near misses and injuries.
Reporters tag the hazard type when they submit, so three separate reports about workload stop being three grumbles and start being a pattern you can evidence.
Keeping both kinds in one place matters, because they rarely arrive separately: fatigue shows up as a near miss, understaffing shows up as an injury.
See common psychosocial hazard examples for the full set.
Reporting combined with support
Most tools capture the incident and stop there.
Foremind's employee assistance program means the person carrying it can book professional counselling through the same platform, in their own time, without telling anyone.

Answers to the frequently asked questions.
What hazard types can be reported?+
Any psychosocial hazard can be reported - bullying, harassment, workload, role clarity, violence, inadequate support, and more. When submitting a report, staff select the hazard type that best fits their experience. This categorisation is what allows your admin to spot patterns by hazard domain across teams over time.
Is this the same as a formal complaint?+
No. Anonymous reporting sits outside your formal grievance process. It's designed to surface issues early so you can act before they escalate to a claim or incident.
How do I prove to WorkSafe that I'm acting on reports?+
Every report, action taken, and control implemented is documented and exportable. Your audit trail is built automatically as you work.
Why does anonymous reporting matter?+
Staff don't report psychosocial issues because they fear being identified, so problems escalate silently until they become a claim or incident. Anonymous reporting gives you early visibility to act before that happens.
Is anonymous incident reporting a legal requirement in Australia?+
No, but the underlying duty is. Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and state equivalents, a PCBU must minimise psychosocial risks so far as is reasonably practicable and consult workers. An anonymous channel is a defensible way to show you gave people a real way to raise concerns.
