It has been a challenging 2020 and 2021 for Australian workers. The Australian Government has created a series of evidence-based, easy to use guides to support the mental health and wellbeing of workers and to encourage mentally healthy workplaces during COVID-19.
Many workers are experiencing anxiety and depression relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, employers with employee assistance programs should remind staff how to access them, including over the phone during periods of self-isolation or quarantine.
The SA Government has introduced the SA COVID-19 Mental Health Line on 1800 632 753.
Other online resources include:
- Beyond Blue guidance on maintaining mental health during the coronavirus outbreak and
- Australian Psychological Society's tips for coping with "coronavirus anxiety".
Additional information and resources are available on our Mental Health page.
