Workplace Wellbeing

Workplace wellbeing is no longer optional—it’s essential to attracting, retaining, and supporting valued employees. With the true cost of turnover averaging 1.5 times annual salary, investing in flexibility and genuine support isn’t just best practice—it’s business smart.
Why it Matters:
  • 1 in 9 people in NSW are carers, and nearly every employee will undertake caring responsibilities during their career.
  • More than 1 in 2 carers experience high or very high psychological distress—and over half report feeling socially isolated.
  • Less than half of carers feel comfortable discussing their caring role at work.
  • Carers who feel supported by their employer are far more likely to report good health and wellbeing.

Carer Recognition at Work
  • “Caring responsibilities” are now explicitly recognised as part of workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) best practice in Australia.
  • The NSW Government encourages employers to adopt standards that make carer support a priority in workplace culture and structure.
