AICD and KWM: Guide for Directors Grappling with Psychosocial Hazards

King & Wood Mallesons (KWM) have collaborated with the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) to develop a general guide to support directors strengthen their oversight of psychosocial risks.

The guide includes insights covering recent updates in the safety space with a focus on New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and legislative reforms for Workplace Gender Equality Agency reporting.

The guide notes the Workplace Gender Equality Amendment (Setting Gender Equality Targets) Bill 2024 passed on 26 March 2025 will require organisations with 500 or more workers to commit to, achieve, or at a minimum improve on, a selected number of specific gender equality targets and provide updates on progress as part of annual Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) reporting, which will be publicly available. 

The guide can be accessed here.
