Achieving a Mentally Healthy Workplace
Create a mentally healthy workplace so everyone can do their best work
“A mentally healthy workplace is about so much more than ticking a compliance box… it’s a social, moral & economic imperative. My advice is to be genuine, start small and don’t be overwhelmed.”
– SA Mental Health Commissioner Chris Burns
OUR VISION
“The Commission’s 20-year vision is that South Australia is internationally recognised as a resilient, compassionate and connected community that takes a whole-of-person, whole-of-life, whole-of-government and whole-of-community approach to building, sustaining and strengthening the mental health and wellbeing of South Australians in order to grow the state’s mental wealth.”
