Bringing workplaces and experts together
Learning Network Chairs bring together groups of employers to build their capacity to create mentally healthy workplaces. They will implement initiatives that influence the work related factors that contribute to stress in the workplace. As a result these networks will contribute to the evidence base on creating and maintaining a mentally healthy workplace.
Learning Networks are linking more than 2000 workplaces to collaborate on practical steps to prevent mental injury.

The selected Learning Network Chairs are:
- Australian Hotels Association (AHA)
- Australian Retailers Association (ARA)
- CommuniCorp Group
- Emergency Services Foundation (ESF)
- Give Where You Live (GWYL)
- Housing Industry Association (HIA)
