What are psychosocial hazards?
They are aspects of work that can cause psychological or physical harm, such as high job demands, low control, poor support, lack of role clarity, poorly managed change, low recognition and difficult workplace relationships.
Where Compono fits
Meeting the WHS duty means identifying hazards early and showing you acted, which comes down to decisions you can defend. Compono Engage adds the people-insight layer that compliance checklists miss, giving you a regular read on demands, support and recognition across teams so risks surface before they become incidents. Built on decades of psychometric research and trusted by government departments and mid-market employers across ANZ, rated 4.8 out of 5 on Capterra.
You rate your workplace across the recognised psychosocial hazard categories: job demands, control, support, role clarity, change management, recognition and workplace relationships. Each category is scored, then aggregated into a banded readiness rating, and the tool surfaces your highest-risk categories. The categories follow the model WHS framework and the NSW WHS Regulation 2025, alongside the Commonwealth Code of Practice (Safe Work Australia; SafeWork NSW; Comcare, 2025). This is an organisational readiness indicator, not a clinical or individual assessment.

Common questions
What do the WHS laws require?
Model WHS laws now require employers to identify psychosocial hazards and manage the risks, so far as is reasonably practicable. The NSW WHS Regulation 2025 and a Commonwealth Code of Practice are in force and set out how to do this.
Is this tool a clinical or diagnostic assessment?
No. It is an organisational readiness indicator across recognised hazard categories. It does not assess individuals and is not a substitute for professional advice or a formal risk assessment.
What should we do with the result?
Use the highest-risk areas to focus a proper hazard assessment, consult your workers, and put control measures in place. Reviewing it regularly helps you show the risk is being actively managed.
