The 2.5 hour session begins by recognising the complexity and emotional impact of these issues and familiarises participants with the legal frameworks of the Fair Work Act, Work Health and Safety (WHS), and anti-discrimination obligations.
The training emphasises psychological safety, procedural fairness, and ethical leadership—core principles essential for fostering trust and transparency during difficult conversations.
Participants will gain practical insights into managing medical evidence, handling refusals, and planning compliant return-to-work strategies.
The session explains employer responsibilities concerning the exhaustion of sick leave, the validity of medical certificates, and termination due to incapacity.
Real-world scenarios and effective communication strategies will better prepare participants to respond appropriately.
The program ends by focusing on creating inclusive, stigma-free return-to-work cultures and integrating psychosocial safety into governance and performance systems.
