Westpac and its customers to combat climate change together.
We believe that our people have a right to be safe and healthy at work.
We review our OHS performance against a number of interlinked performance measures and external best practice benchmarks. This helps us to understand the full range of issues affecting our people, including contractors and visitors.
Our Employee Assistance Program provides confidential counselling for our people and immediate families on a range of issues. This may include relationship and family problems; stress management; grief and bereavement and trauma management. This service is provided by independent external counselling specialists located within each state of Australia.
Our Critical Incident Management Program provides assistance to employees requiring counselling after a traumatic event. This can include hold-ups, personal threats in the workplace, the death of work colleague, or even external events where they impact on our staff such as floods or bushfires.
Our broader training and OHS policies work towards minimising all workplace injuries.
