Tier 02 — Care

Genuine Support for Your People

When your people are struggling — make sure they have somewhere to turn.

Compliance protects your organisation. Care protects your people. It's about recognising that stress and pressure are real, present, and often invisible — and making sure your employees have access to genuine support before things reach a crisis point.

Two different jobs

Compliance and Care answer different questions.

They work together — but they're not the same thing. Understanding the distinction is the first step to building a workplace that's genuinely protected and genuinely supportive.

Tier 01

Compliance

Compliance is about your organisation's obligations — identifying risk, building frameworks, and demonstrating that you're meeting your positive duty under the law. It's the foundation. It answers the question: "Are we meeting our legal requirements?"

Tier 02

Care

Care is about your people. It recognises that behind every risk assessment is a workforce of individuals — each navigating their own pressures and circumstances. Care answers a different question: "Are our people genuinely supported?"

What Care involves

Two complementary elements. One clear purpose.

Care brings together a workplace stress assessment that gives your organisation visibility into where pressure is building, and ProSupport, which gives your employees straightforward, confidential access to qualified, experienced practitioners.

Element 01

Workplace Stress Assessment

A structured, evidence-based way to understand where stress is building in your organisation — before it becomes a problem.

Element 02

ProSupport

Simple, confidential access to highly experienced, vetted practitioners — giving your people real support when they need it most.

Together: your people are seen and supported.

The assessment tells you where the pressure is. ProSupport gives your people somewhere to turn.

ProSupport

Support that people actually use.

Most employee assistance programs go unused — not because people don't need support, but because accessing it doesn't feel straightforward, the practitioners feel generic, or the service simply isn't visible enough when it matters most.

Beyond Blue's National Workplace Survey found that nearly half of Australian employees wouldn't feel comfortable seeking mental health support through their employer. ProSupport is built with that reality in mind. Access is simple and confidential. Every practitioner is highly experienced and carefully vetted — so your people are getting genuine, qualified support from someone who knows what they're doing.

Simple, confidential access Designed so that getting help feels approachable — not bureaucratic or clinical.
Highly experienced practitioners Every practitioner is carefully vetted — qualified, experienced, and selected to provide genuinely effective support.
Right support, right time People get help that's matched to what they're actually going through — not a one-size-fits-all response.
Employer visibility Aggregated, anonymised data through your employer portal — so you can see utilisation trends without compromising individual privacy.

There's a meaningful difference between an organisation that meets its obligations and one that genuinely invests in its people. Employees notice it. Leaders feel it. And it shows up in the numbers.
