Workplace Health That Looks at the Whole Picture
Physical strain and mental health concerns rarely appear overnight. ANSA Health helps organisations respond earlier, giving employees access to clinical care, practical resources and workplace health technology before concerns become harder to manage.
Our services bring mental and physical health support together through one connected workplace offering.
Earlier support for your people
Many workplace health systems come into action after something has already gone wrong. An employee may be burnt out, an injury may have occurred, or someone may already be taking extended leave.
By that point, the impact on the person, their team and the organisation can be considerable.
Our work starts earlier. We help organisations give employees practical ways to look after their mental and physical health, access professional care and raise concerns sooner. We also give leaders clearer information about emerging workforce needs without compromising employee confidentiality.
Some organisations come to us with a specific issue at one site. Others are looking for a broader health and wellbeing program across their workforce. We can begin with either.
The Virtual Workplace Clinic
One place for mental and physical health supportThe Virtual Workplace Clinic gives employees one place to access mental and physical health support.
It connects digital resources, clinical appointments, workplace programs and participating ANSA Health clinics. The platform can be configured around your organisation’s workforce, branding and existing health programs.
For organisations, it provides de-identified information about engagement and broader workforce trends. Personal and clinical information isn’t shared with the employer.
For employees, it provides a straightforward way to:
Book appointments with health professionals
Access mental health and wellbeing resources
Complete structured wellbeing check-ins
Take part in short courses and education sessions
Find support before a concern becomes urgent

A walk through the platform your people would use: booking an appointment, the wellbeing check-in, the resource library and the short courses.
Supporting workforce health across the lifecycle
Depending on your workplace and the type of work being performed, support may include:
Mental health and wellbeing
Employees can access confidential psychology appointments for concerns such as stress, anxiety, low mood, burnout, grief, relationship difficulties and challenges at work or home.
Our Workplace Health and Wellbeing Program includes six psychology sessions per employee each year. Employees can book through the Virtual Workplace Clinic and use the platform’s mental health resources, short courses and regular check-ins between appointments.
Support can also include:
- A dedicated Grief Support Centre
- Group debriefs following a difficult workplace event
- Mental health education and live webinars
- Leadership coaching and consultation
- Workshops based on issues arising within the workforce
- Practical guidance for managers responding to distress or disclosure
- Team wellbeing days
This gives employees more than a phone number to call during a crisis. They can use the service to build skills, seek advice and speak with a psychologist while a concern is still manageable.
Physical health and injury prevention
Physical health support focuses on identifying movement, posture and ergonomic risks that may contribute to discomfort or injury at work.
Employees can use mobile-based technology to record short videos of workplace tasks. These are used to provide practical information about posture, movement and possible areas of physical strain. No specialised equipment is needed.
Depending on the workplace and the type of work being performed, services may include:
- Workplace movement and task assessments
- Ergonomic risk identification
- Pre-employment physical screening
- Return-to-work assessment and planning
- Onsite ergonomic assessments
- Massage therapy and physical wellbeing activities
- Health education for employees and leaders
The aim is to identify concerns sooner and give employees and managers clear information they can use.
Pre-employment screening and return to work
Camera-based movement checks can be used to assess patterns relevant to the physical requirements of a role.
The screening is quick to complete and produces objective information that can support placement and work planning. It may also be used when an employee is preparing to return after an injury.
The results don’t replace clinical judgement. They provide another source of information for safer job design, practical adjustments and return-to-work decisions.
Advanced workplace risk insights
Some working environments need more detailed information about physical load and exposure.
Through our collaboration with Longitude6, wearable technology can be used to examine strain, movement and task demands across particular roles or work settings. This can help organisations identify parts of a task that may need to be redesigned and make more informed decisions about injury prevention.
Support for managers and workplace leaders
Managers are often the first to notice that someone is struggling, but knowing what to do next isn’t always simple.
We provide practical education and consultation to help leaders:
- Recognise early signs of mental or physical strain
- Have respectful conversations about health concerns
- Respond appropriately when an employee discloses distress
- Understand when professional support is needed
- Consider psychosocial and physical risks within the way work is organised
- Support an employee returning to work
The focus is on giving managers useful guidance while keeping clinical care in the hands of qualified health professionals.
Information your organisation can use
The Virtual Workplace Clinic provides de-identified reporting and wellbeing insights. This allows leaders to see how the service is being used and notice broader patterns without receiving personal or clinical details about individual employees.
This information may help an organisation decide where further education, leadership support or workplace health initiatives are needed.
For physical risk programs, reporting can also provide clearer information about movement demands, strain and recurring risks across tasks or roles.
Working alongside your existing systems
Introducing ANSA Health doesn’t have to mean replacing programs that are already working.
Our services can sit alongside an existing EAP, workplace health provider, injury management process or internal wellbeing program. We’ll begin by looking at what your organisation already has, where the gaps are and which part of the workforce would benefit most from earlier support.
This might mean beginning with psychology access for one team, assessing the physical demands of a particular role, or introducing the Virtual Workplace Clinic across the organisation.
Supporting workplaces in Australia and beyond
Talk with us about
your workplace
A useful first conversation is usually quite practical. Tell us what’s happening in your organisation, what support is already available and where you’re seeing gaps.
From there, we can discuss a sensible place to begin across mental health, physical health or both.
