Stress Update

3 Opportunities and Follow-up

The authors believe that the following opportunities are worthwhile to pursue and can be done so because of an increasing convergence of thought about stress.

  1. Telling the story about the Public Health and productivity relevance of healthy work.
  2. Updating DOL staff through workshops.
  3. Frank Darby is visiting Australia in October and will follow up with:
    • Paul Fife at the Australian Tax Office to see how their ‘Mind the Mind’ programme is going. (New Zealand IRD has been invited to join in.)
    • Melbourne University (Betty Kitchener) re the Mental Health First Aid training programme.
    • The Victorian WorkCover Authority to review and find out further about their programme in 90 Victorian Businesses.
