What is the Recognised Healthy Workplace Program?

The Recognised Healthy Workplace program was developed in partnership with Unions WA and Chamber of Commerce and Industry WA. It aims to recognise workplaces in WA that are demonstrating leadership in the area of workplace health and wellbeing by providing:

supportive policies and procedures that encourage healthy behaviours
facilities and infrastructure that encourage healthy behaviours
education and awareness raising sessions to improve the health and wellbeing of staff
healthy activities

The level of recognition your workplace receives depends on the size of your organisation and criteria achieved. Every two years Recognised Healthy Workplaces are required to renew their status. For more information on the application process, click here:
