Conference Postponed

COVID-19 Update: Last Updated Thursday 26 March 2020, 4.00pm

Following the latest government announcement regarding COVID-19 and restricted event gatherings, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the 2020 Workplace Mental Health Symposium.

Please know that we are working hard with all stakeholders, venues, partners, speakers and attendees to confirm a new symposium date to be held later this year.

All bookings for exhibitors, sponsors and attendees will automatically transfer to the new dates.

As a valuable contributor to the event, we are hopeful that you will be both interested and available to remain involved in the symposium on the rescheduled date, which will be announced in the coming weeks.

Our team will continue to keep you informed at every step and we thank you for your understanding and patience during this challenging time.

How to build a culture of wellbeing

Mental ill-health is now costing Australian workplaces more than $13 billion each year.

Organisations are struggling to influence positive change in workplace mental health – and it’s leaders like you who are responsible for prioritising the conversation.

With 1 in 5 people suffering from mental illness, the time for you to invest and act is now.

 

Get the latest tools and knowledge to improve mental health and wellbeing in your organisation at the 2020 Workplace Mental Health Symposium.
