The Healthy Workplace Audit Tool is a valuable resource for evaluating workplace systems and environments, identifying areas for enhancement, and planning, implementing, and evaluating work health and wellbeing programs. It serves to recognize current good practices, pinpoint gaps for improvement, establish baseline information for ongoing evaluation, and offer ideas for positive outcomes and sustainability. When used alongside the Healthy Workers Survey, this tool assists in identifying and assessing specific work health and wellbeing risks within a workplace, allowing for targeted interventions.

The audit is typically completed by those responsible for work health and wellbeing, but consultation with relevant stakeholders, such as the work health, safety, and wellbeing committee, management, human resources, and safety staff, is recommended for optimal outcomes. The online Healthy Workplace Audit Tool can be accessed here, and a preview of the questions is available for download here.
