(5) The article in The Canberra Times on 7 June 2022 reports that the CHS Chief Executive Officer (CEO) stated “we have listened to feedback that we should do more, particularly to support those who experience traumatic events through their work at CHS” and “We’re committed to implementing stronger and more accessible health and wellbeing supports, especially those who experience trauma at work”.
As part of the commitment to implementing stronger and more accessible health and wellbeing supports, especially for those who experience trauma at work, CHS has undertaken a number of actions including:
• Listened to staff, through the Wellbeing Survey, for feedback about what the organisation can start doing, stop doing and keep doing.
• Used this feedback to inform Staff Wellbeing Forums and working groups. Through 12 multidisciplinary working groups, 12 wellbeing activities have been co-designed.
• Held the Staff Wellbeing Symposium on 1 August 2022 and two Staff Wellbeing Forums on 31 August and 18 October 2022.
• Created the Wellbeing Boost program to increase engagement with health and wellbeing across CHS.
• In October 2022, during National Mental Health Month, CHS will be focusing on normalising help seeking behaviour and communicating the supports and services available for staff.
• Communication and information to staff will be updated.
• The Staff Health and Wellbeing Strategy is being renewed with the draft strategy 2023-2026 due for staff consultation in early December 2022.
