About this episode

The episode discusses changes in psychosocial risk compliance in Australia post-PAW, featuring real enforcement cases and practical planning for compliance.

PAW is closing, and for a lot of Australian organisations, that's about to expose a gap they didn't know they had. In this episode, we sit down with Ian Fagan (Founder) and Sam McKenzie (Director of Psychosocial Compliance) from Skodel to unpack what's really changed in psychosocial risk compliance across Australia, and specifically in NSW, where WHS Codes of Practice became a legally enforceable benchmark from 1 July 2026. We discuss three real, recent enforcement cases, a professional college board found to have mismanaged its own bullying risk, a ten-month workplace investigation that itself became the hazard, and a fatal fatigue case that ended in a $1.43 million fine and a director's personal conviction, and what they reveal about what regulators are actually testing for. Ian and Sam also share the practical 30/60/90-day plan for building an audit-ready psychosocial risk system once PAW is gone. Who should listen: HR leaders, WHS and HSE professionals, and anyone in governance or executive roles responsible for psychosocial risk, compliance reporting, or board-level safety oversight.
