In Australia the total cost of workers compensation claims for stress related conditions is estimated at over $200 million every year.

Some of the many causes of work related stress include long hours, heavy workload, job insecurity, conflict with co-workers or bosses and issues that arise in workers' private lives. Symptoms include a drop in work performance, depression, anxiety, sleeping difficulties and time of work. Thus it is important for employers to recognise stress and injury as a significant health and safety issue.

Recognising and supporting employees wellbeing can increase workplace satisfaction and productivity. The Sports Injury Clinic can assist your workplace in a number of ways including:
