NSW's Psychosocial Safety Changes: What Creative Organisations Need to Know

From 1 July 2026, changes to the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW) mean approved Codes of Practice have become enforceable benchmarks for workplace safety. For organisations operating in New South Wales, this includes the Code of Practice: Managing Psychosocial Hazards at Work.

For arts organisations, production companies, festivals, galleries, museums, music businesses and creative employers, now is a good time to review how your organisation supports psychological health and manages workplace risks.

Therapy demystified: understanding support options for creatives and arts workers

When something goes wrong physically, most of us know what to do. We book a GP appointment, see a physio, get the car serviced, or finally deal with that dental check-up we’ve been avoiding.

But when stress, burnout, grief, anxiety or overwhelm start affecting how we work, create, collaborate or simply get through the week, knowing where to turn can feel much less straightforward.
