Ever-increasing cost-of-living pressures are having a significant impact on people’s financial wellbeing and, in turn, mental health. More than one-third of Australians report experiencing financial stress, and 37% of people cite cost-of-living pressure as having the biggest impact on their mental health. Even more concerning, people experiencing financial stress are twice as likely to experience mental health challenges, impacting people’s lives both at home and at work.
ReturnToWorkSA has released a 30-minute webinar and information sheet to give employers and managers the knowledge, tools, and resources to practically support employees who are experiencing financial stress. These resources include information on free financial supports available within the community.
