Psychological injury prevention services

We now offer a range of proactive services to our members to address workplace issues aimed at preventing psychological injury. These services are available as a benefit of LGIS membership.

Mediation

Workplace conflicts can affect both those who are directly involved and others who get caught up in issues. If not handled correctly, conflicts can easily escalate leading to a negative work environment.

Mediation can help to address the issue, before it escalates. It is not about finding fault. The process involves working with individuals to find possible solutions. The services is confidential and can be an incredibly effective, early intervention tool.

Critical incident debriefing

Unfortunately, critical incidents may occur and often impact workers.

Incidents such as workplace death, witnessing a serious injury, or a significant community event like a bushfire or cyclone may have a significant impact on workers. 

The LGIS critical incident debriefing service can help, supporting workers to process what has happened. Our team also provides face-to-face support to staff impacted by such incidents.

Counselling

LGIS counsellors can provide support on a range of work related issues.

Our short term counselling aims to provide local government workers, elected members and bushfire volunteers with support for a wide variety of work related issues such as work relationships, conflicts at work and other work related issues.

To access this service an individual must be referred to LGIS by the local government.
