For Sydney employers reviewing mental health at work, workload concerns or workers compensation costs, we can discuss on site mental health OT, mental health workshops and practical workplace support.

Professional advice when it matters

Practical tools.
Access to a mental health OT.

Support for both employers and employees to work through practical workplace questions.

Get professional advice on workplace concerns, with support tailored to your needs.

Advice may involve workload and routines, task design, sensory demands, workplace relationships or mental load. Where a concern needs clinical assessment or a different professional, we help clarify the next step.

Employer access

A familiar team.
A service built around you.

Your dedicated account manager gets to know your organisation and is your point of contact as your workplace needs evolve.

We learn about your industry, roles, work environments and existing supports. Together, we agree the relevant services, access to virtual mental health OT advice and a subscription or retainer that fits your organisation.

Your agreement sets out included employer and employee advice access, response arrangements and review points. Additional advice beyond the included allowance can be agreed on a pay as you go basis.

Regular conversations help us review what is useful and adjust the service with you. We confirm availability, inclusions and pricing before access begins.

Are you an employee?

Ask your HR or WHS team whether your workplace has a Work in Context arrangement. Access and included advice depend on your employer’s agreement.

We explain consent and what information may be shared before you use the service. An employer subscription does not give unrestricted access to your health information.

Where professional judgement takes over

Early intervention tools support reflection and practical workplace options. They do not diagnose a condition, determine fitness or capacity for work, prescribe treatment or replace clinical judgement.

Clinical or complex concerns require an appropriate professional. Work in Context does not replace employer duties, statutory reporting, insurer decisions or workers compensation processes.
