The Australian and New Zealand Consensus Statements on the Health Benefits of Work

The Australasian Faculty of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (AFOEM) of The Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP)

The consensus statement highlights the positive impact work can have on physical and emotional wellbeing and was developed via an extensive period of stakeholder consultation. The purpose of the consensus statement is to bring together a wide range of stakeholder signatories, who each affirm the importance of work as a determinant of health and commit to:

• Promoting awareness of the health benefits of work;
• Offering support and encouragement to those attempting to access the health benefits of work;
• Encouraging employers' continuing support of workers' occupational health; and
• Advocating for continuous improvement in public policy around work and health, in line with the principles articulated in the consensus statement.
