NRCoP and ANZSOG present: A focus on the safety and wellbeing of frontline regulatory officers in the field
April 26, 2024 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm AEST
Frontline regulatory officers play a crucial role in minimising harm and maintaining safety and harmony in the community. On a daily basis, these officers are out in the field conducting investigations, dealing with non-compliant entities and taking enforcement action after violations. Often, they find themselves working in emotionally charged and conflictual situations which can make their role challenging and at times mentally and physically unsafe.
Supporting our frontline officers to identify and safely manage risk and deal with difficult or threatening situations is critical for all regulatory agencies. When officers don’t feel safe, or when they are feeling stressed or burnt out, they cannot effectively perform their regulatory functions.
Panelists include our very own National Council Member Luke Bond (Forest Practice Authority, TAS), Mandy Belfrage (Australian Health Practitioners Regulatory Agency – AHRPA), and Diane Shultz (Department of Justice and Attorney-General, QLD).
