Reflective Group Practice
Responding to Victoria’s New Psychosocial Safety Regulations
In 2022, Victoria introduced new workplace safety regulations requiring employers to identify, prevent, and manage psychosocial hazards.
This means every organisation must provide structured, proactive ways for employees to discuss challenges, raise concerns, and work through workplace pressures—while leadership takes action to create a safer environment.
Our Reflective Group Programs are designed specifically to help organisations meet these new obligations while also improving morale, retention, and team effectiveness.
What We Offer Organisations
Legislative Compliance Through Group Reflection
Structured spaces that align with WorkSafe Victoria requirements for psychological safety.
Safe, Confidential Staff Spaces
Employees can share workplace concerns, reduce stress, and contribute to solutions.
Actionable Insights for Leadership
Regular reports highlight systemic risks and provide practical recommendations.
Improved Team Dynamics
Strengthen trust, collaboration, and resilience across teams and departments.
Prevention of Burnout & Turnover
Proactive care reduces psychosocial hazards, absenteeism, and workplace tension.
Goals and Structure of Reflective Practice Groups
Reflective groups provide a structured, confidential space for employees to pause, examine their experiences, and explore workplace dynamics together. The goal is to enhance psychological safety, strengthen communication, and identify systemic challenges while fostering trust and collaboration. In these sessions, participants share perspectives, reflect on organisational pressures, and co-create practical strategies for improvement. Guided by a skilled facilitator, reflective groups encourage insight, emotional wellbeing, and resilience, helping teams grow both individually and collectively.
Topics That Arise in Reflective Groups
Cultural Shifts and Organisational Values
Conversations often explore how changes in values, systems, or structures affect team identity, helping staff connect with organisational goals and find a shared sense of purpose.
Interpersonal Tensions and Conflict Resolution
Teams bring up workplace tensions, communication challenges, and misunderstandings, using the group space to transform conflict into constructive dialogue and collaboration.
Teamwork and Group Dynamics
Discussions focus on team relationships, workflow bottlenecks, and opportunities for better cooperation, creating a deeper understanding of how teams function together.
Leadership and Role Clarity
Reflective groups provide a forum for leaders and team members to reflect on authority, responsibilities, and confidence in guiding group processes.
Emotional Wellbeing and Stressors
Participants openly share experiences of workplace stress, burnout, or morale challenges, finding validation and support while building resilience.
Building Resilience Through Change
Conversations address organisational change, shifting priorities, and ambiguity, helping teams navigate transitions while maintaining motivation and cohesion.
Tailored Group Work for Every Sector

These sessions empower staff with tools to navigate workplace dynamics more effectively, strengthen relationships, and increase their contribution to a positive, high-performing work environment.
“Good Group Treatment – by developing a good group – makes both processes go hand in hand: the reinforcement of the communal ground and the freer development of the individual differences. Like a tree – the firmer it takes root the freer it can display its individual characteristic beauty above ground” (Foulkes, 1948, pp. 30).
