HOSPO Health

🎥 Some of the leading minds in workplace mental health are backing what we've built, and the research is clear on why.

Prof. Tony LaMontagne (Deakin University, contributor to World Health Organization Mental Health at Work Guidelines) co-authored the landmark systematic review behind our program design - 26 studies, over 15,000 hospitality workers - finding that leader-focused, organisation-level intervention is what actually shifts mental health outcomes in this industry.

Not broad, one-size-fits-all awareness campaigns.

That's exactly why HOSPO Health is built as a three-tier model - full sector coverage, plus depth where the evidence says it matters most:
🔹 Online All Staff Program - free, self-paced, available right now to all 24,000 hospitality workers across Tasmania. Five modules covering physical, mental, social, financial and occupational wellbeing.
🔹 Online Leaders Program - launching soon. Seven self-paced modules giving every leader in the industry practical, no-jargon tools to support their teams.
🔹 Face-to-Face Leaders Program - our deepest layer. A 12-month program working directly with leadership teams, building real accountability and embedding change property-wide. This is where the research says government investment produces real, measurable behaviour change.

Every worker and every leader in Tasmania's hospitality industry has free access to evidence-based support.

Our refreshed website is almost ready to launch, watch this space!

Tasmania is celebrated for its food, wine and experiences. But what if it became equally celebrated for something else, being the best place in the world to build a career in hospitality?

That's what we're building toward. Healthier people, Safer workplaces, Stronger businesses. An industry Tasmania is genuinely proud of.

One in six Tasmanians works in hospitality. Every single one of them deserves to thrive in it.

Most workplace mental health programs wait for someone to hit crisis point before stepping in. That's too late, too expensive, and completely avoidable.
The research is clear - prevention returns up to $14.30 for every dollar invested. HOSPO Health is that upstream investment for Tasmania's hospitality industry.

Applications closing soon.

Every time someone walks out the door in hospitality it costs the business. Every time someone is physically there but mentally not - it costs the business.

HOSPO Health is free. The cost of doing nothing isn't.

The Evidence Gap
Across 26 peer-reviewed studies involving 15,069 hospitality workers, researchers found only one intervention study addressing workplace mental health in food and bar workers.

One.

That's the evidence gap HOSPO Health was built to fill. Designed by practitioners, backed by the researchers who identified the gap, delivered at industry scale. Prof. Anthony LaMontagne, Deakin University, World Health Organization (WHO) contributor, and co-author of that review - has endorsed it on camera.

Tasmania is building the model the rest of Australia needs.
