What is workplace wellbeing? 

Workplace wellbeing is a crucial aspect of modern working life. It encompasses how employees perceive their work environment, their physical and psychological safety at work, and the overall culture of the work organisation. In response to this, many workplaces are now prioritising the health and wellbeing of their employees, aiming to create healthy, safe, and productive environments.  

CQU's suite of workplace wellbeing postgraduate courses are designed to meet this growing demand. Applicable to various industries and professions, the workplace wellbeing courses provide you with the opportunity to advance your skills and knowledge in the promotion of wellbeing, psychosocial safety, and positive mental health within the workplace.
