The IFMH forum brings together senior leaders from across the Australian Public Service to consider our shared responsibility for creating workplaces that are psychologically safe, mentally healthy and reflective of the communities we serve. As SES leaders, your influence is critical in shaping organisational culture and setting expectations for safe, respectful and inclusive work environments.
