Work-related psychological health and the management of psychosocial hazards and risks represents a pervasive challenge in the modern world of work. Regulatory work health and safety (WHS) policy serves an imperative function in guiding organizational practice for risk management and setting national standards for WHS. However, evaluated research on WHS policy for psychosocial hazards and risks is limited internationally and is particularly scarce in Australia. Greater investigation of WHS policy in terms of context, content, and implementation will highlight necessary changes to improve national work-related psychological health. The purpose of this paper is to address a prominent research gap and share key findings and recommendations drawn from a comprehensive program of research focusing on Australian WHS policy for psychosocial hazards, risks, and psychological health. The paper presents a high-level overview of the collective issues that emerged throughout the completion of four published studies. The studies comprise a quantitative evaluation of a policy-level intervention using national surveillance data, a policy review and gap analysis, review and summary of all available psychosocial risk management tools (that may be used to translate policy principles into organizational practice), and interviews with key informants to explore various perspectives on the issue. While policy and psychosocial risk regulation is complex, this program of research conveys tangible developments for policy and practice that could benefit both the Australian and international workforce.
