WorkWell Learning Networks
Supporting employers to improve mental health and wellbeing in the workplace
WorkWell's Learning Networks bring workplaces and experts together to share ideas and knowledge, and provide advice and support to implement workplace initiatives that create safe and mentally healthy environments for identified Victorian working populations.
The Learning Networks aim to bring Victorian workplaces together through organisations such as industry groups, employer associations and employee representative organisations to collaborate on practical initiatives that create positive workplace cultures. The Learning Networks will be outcome focussed whilst providing a platform for workplaces to build their capacity regarding workplace mental health and wellbeing.

Prevention focused

Collaboration
Workplaces will work collaboratively through the Learning Network using human-centred design to plan, develop, implement and evaluate initiatives in partnership with subject matter experts.
Creating organisational level change
We aim to drive organisation-wide change through Learning Networks that design initiatives to address the root causes of organisational factors contributing to mental injury and mental illness in workplaces.
