Trusted by Hundreds of Leading Australian Businesses
Audit your psychosocial risks before they escalate
A psychosocial risk assessment identifies, evaluates and controls workplace factors that can harm employees' mental health. For example, excessive workload, poor role clarity, or exposure to conflict and harassment.
In a number of Australian jurisdictions, this is now a legal requirement under the WHS Code of Practice.
Foremind structures your risk assessments around each psychosocial hazard domain, drawing on the incident reports and check-in data already flowing through the platform.

Max Build, Head of People and Culture
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.

Georgina Byron
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.

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.

Psychosocial risk assessments with Foremind
Identify hazards across every domain
Foremind surfaces psychosocial hazards through formal assessments, anonymous check-ins and incident reports, not just what gets raised in a staff meeting.
Every domain required by Safe Work Australia is covered.

Assess likelihood, severity and exposure
For each hazard, we evaluate how often workers are exposed, for how long, and how severe the potential harm could be.
Every risk is rated low, medium or high, with interacting hazards flagged where they compound.
Implement and document controls
Controls are assigned to each hazard, combining direct support with the systemic change needed to fix the root cause.
When a staff member flags a hazard and books in a counsellor the same day, it becomes part of your compliance evidence.
What was implemented, when, and by whom is captured automatically and available in your dashboard anytime.
Monitor, review and update
New incident reports or check-in data trigger a review of whether existing controls are working.
Risk assessments update as new information comes in. This is live risk management, not a once-a-year exercise.
Built for ongoing risk, not a one-off audit
Most psychosocial risk assessments are a point-in-time exercise: a survey, a report, a filed PDF. Six months later, nobody knows if the risk has changed.
Foremind connects your risk register directly to the check-in scores, incident reports and counselling data already moving through your workplace.
So your risk picture updates as your workplace does, not once a year when the next audit is due.
Live risk data
Risk levels update automatically as new incidents and check-in data come in.
One system, not three
Risk register, incident reporting and counselling data sit in the same platform, not separate spreadsheets.
Evidence by default.
Every control and decision is timestamped and documented as it happens, not reconstructed after the fact.

What audit-ready actually looks like
Every hazard identified, every risk rating, every control assigned and every review is logged automatically, timestamped and linked back to the incident or check-in that triggered it.
When a regulator, board member or insurer asks how a risk was managed, you're not digging through email threads or reconstructing a timeline.
You're pulling up a record that was already there.
Answers to the frequently asked questions.
How is Foremind different from keeping a psychosocial risk register?+
A risk register is a snapshot of one moment. Foremind links the whole thing up - from a worker reporting an issue, through assessment, controls and review - so nothing gets lost and your record builds as you go.
What actually counts as a psychosocial hazard at work?+
Anything about the way work is designed, managed or carried out that could harm someone's mental health. Heavy workloads, unclear roles, poor support, bullying, aggressive customers and isolated work are all common examples. The Code of Practice lists 14. See our full breakdown of the Codes of Practice across Australian Jurisdictions.
Do we need to do a psychosocial risk assessment if nothing has gone wrong?+
Yes. WHS law asks you to find and fix work-related mental health risks before someone gets hurt, not after. Waiting for an incident is too late.
Do we have to involve workers in the risk assessment?+
Yes. Consulting workers isn't optional - it's part of the duty, and it's also how you find out what's really happening. The people doing the work usually know where the pressure points are long before it shows up in your data.
We track psychosocial risks in spreadsheets. Is that enough?+
A spreadsheet can hold your notes, but it can't show a regulator how you're managing risk over time. You need one place that records what you found, what you did about it, and whether it worked.
Do small businesses need to do psychosocial risk assessments?+
Yes. Psychosocial risk obligations apply regardless of organisation or business size, and Foremind is built to make compliance simple without enterprise-level complexity.
