It is completed by an organisation's representative, such as the work health, safety and wellbeing coordinator or committee. Complete the audit tool online.
• Healthy workers survey (PDF, 0.41 MB) – provides a profile of your workforce's health and wellbeing status. It is completed by workers in your organisation with a de-identified organisational report provided.

Together, the tools provide a holistic view of your workplace health and wellbeing risk factors and assist you to develop targeted interventions. Knowing the risks will help you plan your approach to work health and wellbeing and ensure that your interventions are targeted at the right areas.
