Overview of the Healthy Workers Across Industry Program

Peak bodies, business, professional and industry associations are well positioned to actively promote and work with their members, and businesses are ready to take a more active role in workplace health initiatives. Business SA respects that industry associations and peak bodies know the circumstances, needs and challenges experienced within their own industry and member businesses. They have experience when it comes to driving a change agenda and have communication and support mechanisms in place to implement positive change.
 
Business SA is proud to be working with SA Health to deliver another year of the Healthy Workers Across Industry Program. Business SA is committed to working with all interested South Australian associations and peak bodies to advocate for and support workplace health and wellbeing initiatives within industries and member businesses.
