HOSPO Health

Woohoo - have you heard our big news?

We’re so proud to share that HOSPO Health has been named a finalist in the 2026 National Safety Awards of Excellence – Best Safety Leadership Program, alongside some of Australia’s biggest organisations.

For a program created specifically for Tasmania’s hospitality industry, that’s a pretty big deal. ✨

HOSPO Health was built around a simple idea: what if we could help prevent people becoming unwell, rather than waiting until they need help?

Our government-funded program supports hospitality workers, leaders and businesses with preventative health, wellbeing and psychosocial safety. It goes beyond telling people to “look after themselves”. We look at the work itself - leadership, workload, culture, connection and support - and how we can prevent harm before people become unwell.

It’s tailored. It’s evidence-based. It’s believed to be the first program of its kind in Australia. And most importantly, it’s working.

We believe HOSPO Health has the potential to become a blueprint for something much bigger: showing how industries and governments can work together to improve the health and wellbeing of entire workforces.

A huge congratulations and thank you to Hospitality Tasmania CEO Steve Old, whose vision and drive made HOSPO Health possible, and who backed the idea of doing things differently.

And to the workers, managers, owners and venues in the hospo industry who have embraced HOSPO Health and helped shape it along the way, thank you - this recognition belongs to you too.

Next stop: Sydney, 5 November!

Working alone. Far from the team. No one to call if something goes wrong.

For too many hospitality workers, this is just another shift. But isolation is a recognised safety hazard - and leaders have a duty to manage it.

HOSPO Health gives you practical tools to keep isolated workers connected, safe and supported.

Dealing with violence. Witnessing accidents. Seeing things no one should have to see at work - and then going back out on the floor like nothing happened.

This is the reality for too many hospitality workers. And the psychological toll is real.

HOSPO Health helps Tasmanian hospitality businesses respond to traumatic events with care, speed and the right support. 💙

Mindfulness apps don't fix bullying managers. EAP hotlines don't fix unsafe workloads.

HOSPO Health does something different. We look at the WORK.

Fix the Work. Not the Worker. ❤️

Favouritism. Unfair decisions. Inconsistent rules. People feeling ignored.

It feels like a culture problem - but it's actually a safety problem. Poor organisational justice is one of 14 legally recognised psychosocial hazards in Australian workplaces.

HOSPO Health gives leaders the tools to build fairer, safer, stronger teams. Fairness matters. Always.

Your team are working their hearts out. Do they know you see it?

Low recognition isn't just demoralising - it's a recognised workplace safety hazard. And it's one of the top reasons good hospitality workers walk out the door.

HOSPO Health helps leaders build cultures where people feel valued. Because valued people stay. 🙌

Last minute roster change. New POS system. No training. Starts tomorrow.

If this is how change happens in your venue, your team is carrying a psychosocial safety risk every single shift.

HOSPO Health helps hospitality leaders manage change in a way that keeps people informed, supported and on side.

When your team doesn't know who's responsible for what - guests feel it. And so does your bottom line.

Lack of role clarity is a recognised psychosocial hazard and one of the most common causes of stress and conflict in hospitality workplaces.

HOSPO Health gives you simple, practical tools to fix it. Funded for Tasmanian hospitality businesses.

The numbers don't lie. Psychosocial hazards are costing Australian hospitality businesses - and their workers - billions every year.

HOSPO Health exists because prevention is cheaper, smarter, and kinder than the alternative.
