💻 Small breaks can make a big difference to the working day.

In the Chiropractors Association’s 2025 Impact of Tech Neck & Neck Pain in Australia research, female laptop users who stretched or took a break every two hours reported lower rates of neck pain than those who only did so when already in physical pain (69.6% vs 86.1%).

If laptop work is part of your day:
✅ Change position regularly
✅ Take movement and stretch breaks
✅ Raise your screen where practical
✅ Use a separate keyboard and mouse for prolonged work
✅ Avoid waiting for pain before you move

This WorkSpace Week, stop work becoming a pain in the neck.

🎉 It’s National WorkSpace Week! 19-25 October.

Everyone deserves to work in a safe and healthy environment. Whether you work at a desk, on a jobsite, on your feet, on the road or at home, how you work affects your spinal health, mental wellbeing and productivity.

National WorkSpace Week, 19–25 October 2026, is an initiative of Australian Chiropractors Association, dedicated to preventing work related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) and encouraging early intervention to protect Australian workers from head to toe.

WMSDs are a major workplace health and safety concern, with substantial costs for workers, employers and the community. Deloitte Access Economics estimated the broader cost of musculoskeletal conditions at $55.1 billion across healthcare, lost productivity and reduced quality of life.

Safe Work Australia’s 2025 Key WHS Statistics report identified body stressing as the leading mechanism of serious claims across every major occupation group, accounting for 50,600 claims. Compared with figures published in 2024, claims for traumatic joint, ligament, muscle and tendon injuries rose 8.1% to 53,300, while musculoskeletal and connective tissue disease claims rose 11.4% to 22,500.

Aligning with National Safe Work Month’s Week 3 focus, “For the future — the long term impact”, encouraging workplaces to consider how injuries today can affect workers’ health and livelihoods for years to come.

The impact of WMSDs extends beyond the working day. Pain and reduced mobility can affect workers’ wellbeing, family life and independence, while time away from work creates financial pressure for workers and employers.
This WorkSpace Week, review workplace risks, improve safety controls and work practices, and act on pain and discomfort early.

🛡️ Prevention IS the best protection — and early intervention can help stop problems from becoming more serious.

🪑💻 October is Global Ergonomics Month!

A healthy workspace should support the person doing the work - whether that workspace is a desk, vehicle, worksite, classroom, clinic, kitchen or home office.

Ergonomics and human factors are about designing work, equipment and environments to better fit people. Combined with regular movement and good work habits, this can help reduce modifiable risks associated with work-related musculoskeletal disorders.

This Global Ergonomics Month, take a fresh look at the way you work and get ready for National WorkSpace Week, 19-25 October.

WorkSpace Week will encourage Australians to create ergonomic and safe work environments, and foster positive spinal health habits in the process.

👀💻 It’s World Sight Day!

If screens are part of your working day, don’t just think about what you’re looking at - think about how you’re looking at it.

Screen position can influence the way we hold our head, neck and upper body. Simple workspace habits can help:

✅ Position your screen at a comfortable height and distance
✅ Avoid leaning forward to read
✅ Change position and move regularly
✅ Take regular screen and stretch breaks
✅ Review your overall workspace setup

With National WorkSpace Week just around the corner, today is a great reminder to adjust your thinking about your workspace so you can work well from head to toe.
