Young people entering the workforce for the first time in 2019 are have access to free help and advice for workplace challenges.
The SafeWork Young Workers eToolkit is a great resource for the more than half a million young workers across NSW.
Starting work for the first time is often daunting and many young people don’t know their rights when it comes to workplace health and safety issues like harassment or bullying.
That’s why we developed this toolkit, which is free to access and has loads of real life stories and advice.
The toolkit helps with all sorts of issues, including what to do if you’re being bullied, abused by customers, injured at work or struggling with a mental health challenge.
In 2017, six workers under the age of 25 died in NSW. In 2015-16, there were more than 13,000 temporary disability and three permanent disability claims made by young workers.
It’s essential businesses provide refresher training and adequate supervision all year round.
This should include things like induction programs and safety training, so young workers understand safety policies and procedures.
The SafeWork NSW Young Workers eToolkit is at safework.nsw.gov.au or call 13 10 50.

Doors open at 9am, so you will have plenty of time to get your free morning tea and find a seat before the concert starts at 9.45am.
