About the opportunity  

Join a team that’s shaping the way Australia Post supports mental health and safety across its enterprise. As a Senior Mental Health and Safety Specialist, you’ll work within the Mental Health and Support Functions Safety team, championing the implementation of best-practice psychosocial risk strategies. This is a unique opportunity to influence cultural change, shape enterprise-wide safety strategies, and embed wellbeing into the everyday experience of work.

Reporting to the Head of Mental Health and Support Functions Safety, you’ll take the lead in identifying, designing, and implementing initiatives that reduce psychosocial risk and improve mental health outcomes. You’ll collaborate with senior leaders across Finance, People & Culture, Communications, Legal and Strategy, delivering measurable improvements in wellbeing and shaping Australia Post’s Mental Health Strategy.
