Health Benefits of Good Work®

The Health Benefits of Good Work® (HBGW) is an initiative from the Australasian Faculty of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (AFOEM).

This initiative is based on compelling Australasian and international evidence that good work is beneficial to people’s health and wellbeing and that long term work absence, work disability and unemployment generally have a negative impact on health and wellbeing.

Stakeholder Executive Group

AFOEM established the HBGW Stakeholder Executive Group in September 2014 to determine the strategic direction.

Signatory Steering Groups

In January 2015, a Signatory Steering Group (SSG) was established in Australia. A HBGW Aotearoa New Zealand Signatories' Steering Group (SSG) has also been formed.

How does it work?

At the heart of this consensus statement on the HBGW is a shared commitment to improve the health and wellbeing of individuals, families and communities.

How you can support HBGW

The HBGW signatory list continues to grow and welcomes ongoing support.

The RACP and AFOEM are committed to advancing the HBGW philosophy across the healthcare and relevant industry sectors.
