New psychology division supports organisational compliance

In recognition of the need to protect workers from psychosocial hazards in the workplace, Rehab Management has launched a dedicated psychology division.

Senda Psychology has been designed to offer businesses across Australia specialised, evidence-based support that is both timely and tailored to the unique challenges faced by today’s employees.

“We’re responding to a critical need in the market — one that has only grown more urgent with new regulations requiring employers to actively manage psychosocial risks,” said Renee Thornton, CEO of Rehab Management.

Deborah Shand, National Psychological Services Manager at Rehab Management, said: “Whether it’s addressing issues like burnout, stress, or more complex challenges such as drug and alcohol problems, family dynamics or financial stress, our programs are designed to support employees in a way that promotes long-term wellbeing and productivity.”

Senda Psychology’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provides short-term, confidential counselling for personal and work-related issues, tailored to individual needs. This approach ensures employees receive the necessary support, with options for ongoing treatment if required.

“Our EAP provided by Rehab Management has proven to be an invaluable resource for both our employees and the company as a whole,” said Matt Britten, Group Human Resources Manager of NGP Group. “It offers confidential, professional support for personal and work-related challenges, which has enhanced the wellbeing of our team. By investing in the wellbeing of our people, the company is sending a very powerful message to our employees that we want to support them when they are experiencing difficult times, and we highly recommend it as a core component of any organisation’s people strategy.”

The launch of Senda Psychology reflects a broader commitment to addressing the pressing mental health challenges in today’s workplaces. By focusing on early intervention and personalised support, Senda aims to assist organisations in managing risks and enhancing employee wellbeing in a way that contributes to productivity and long-term success.
