Across Australia, wellbeing is under strain, with organisations navigating a convergence of pressures. The big question confronting leaders now is how to help create stability for their people when so much around them feels uncertain.

Consider this:

- [76 per cent](https://resources.telushealth.com/hubfs/MHI%202025/March_2025_Australia_EN_MHI_Report.pdf?hsLang=en) of the workforce is living with a moderate to high mental health risk. 
- A [quarter](https://resources.telushealth.com/en/uncover-how-stress-impacts-australians-and-build-a-mental-health-strategy-that-works?hsLang=en) of all workers feel overwhelmed by their responsibilities
- 34 per cent say their mental health is adversely impacting work productivity.

These challenges can have direct financial implications for organisations. In Australia, the impact of poor mental health exceeds [$13 billion annually](https://www.ceda.com.au/researchandpolicies/research/health-ageing/mental-health-and-the-workplace) in lost productivity, absenteeism, presenteeism and staff turnover. 

The good news is that employers increasingly recognise that employee wellbeing isn’t just about supporting individual health – it’s a strategic asset that can drive organisational performance. Forward-thinking organisations are adopting a  prevention-focused approach that helps energise employees daily, foster healthy habits and deliver measurable value for everyone involved.

This ebook explores how employers are transforming their approach to workforce support through a model that anticipates and prevents risks, empowers employees and responds effectively to help protect wellbeing when significant issues arise. At each stage, it will highlight the services that can make a real, tangible difference to both employers and employees, along with the measurable impact that results.
