Understand workplace wellness programs, activities and implementation choices within a broader Australian workplace wellbeing strategy. Learn more.
Workplace wellness refers to activities and programs that support health, connection and participation at work. Useful initiatives respond to a defined workforce need and sit alongside good work design, leadership, consultation and psychosocial risk management - not as a substitute for an organisation’s broader responsibilities.

Frequently asked questions
What is corporate wellness?
Corporate wellness describes programs, services and participation initiatives intended to support employee health and wellbeing. It works best within a broader workplace wellbeing strategy that also considers work design, leadership, psychosocial hazards, accessibility and appropriate professional support.
What are examples of workplace wellness activities?
Examples may include movement, mindfulness, health education, social connection, financial education, sleep and recovery, manager capability or team practices. Suitability depends on workforce need, program scope, accessibility, evidence and how the activity connects to wider workplace systems.
Does a wellness program meet workplace safety duties?
Not by itself. Wellness activities can complement a responsible workplace strategy, but organisations retain their work health and safety obligations and should use current official guidance and qualified advice.
