The Right to Disconnect is becoming an essential workplace topic across Australia. With new laws and workplace agreements focusing on employees’ ability to switch off outside of work hours, organisations need to find the balance between respecting personal wellbeing and ensuring operational continuity.
This Right to Disconnect Training Course helps managers and staff understand their responsibilities, build healthier boundaries, and design systems that protect both productivity and employee wellbeing. Participants will explore how to manage availability expectations, knowledge continuity, and delegation practices so that no critical tasks are lost when staff disconnect.
Australia’s Fair Work reforms have placed a spotlight on psychosocial hazards and workplace wellbeing. Poorly managed communication and after-hours expectations can lead to burnout, stress, and compliance risks. This training provides practical strategies to support both individuals and organisations, ensuring employees can rest without compromising business needs.

Participants will leave with practical tools to support both individual balance and organisational resilience.
