The second National Mental Health Monitor, released by Australians for Mental Health in April 2024, revealed a concerning rise in the number of Australians struggling with poor mental health and loneliness – workplaces, however, can play a vital role in addressing both, benefiting individuals, teams, and organisations alike.
What’s more, DCA’s Inclusion@Work Index consistently shows that inclusive environments are linked to employees feeling that work has a positive impact on their mental health.
This event marked the start of DCA’s 2025 Inclusion at Work Week (IAWW).
DCA CEO, Catherine Hunter, was joined by leading experts to explore loneliness at work – what it looks like, why it matters, and how we can build the knowledge and skills to develop and maintain meaningful social connections at work.
Our guest speakers included:
Chris Gambian (he/him), Executive Director, Australians for Mental Health
Dr Shea Fan (she/her), Associate Professor, Deakin Business School
Anna Sparkes (she/her), Chief People Officer, Gilbert + Tobin
Associate Professor Michelle Lim (she/her), CEO and Scientific Chair of Ending Loneliness Together
