    is stress an official OHS issue in Australia?

    Hi,

    We hear of people going on "stress leave", which is essentially "sick leave" due to stress. But is "stress" now an official OHS issue for employers here in Australia ?

    I don't think it is. I've yet to meet an OHS professional in Australia who believed that "stress" was part of their remit (this is not a criticism).

    But will it become so?

    It already is in the UK, where Board Director/CEOs, HR managers, H&S managers and Line Managers all have specific responsibilities in the successful prevention of stress.

    I have both a professional and personal interest in this so I would love to hear your views on this topic!

    Cheers,
    Sally
