Whether you’re a seasoned leader or stepping into a new role, our ‘Leader Support’ coaching program equips you to navigate high-pressure moments, reduce risk, and lead with confidence.
We know that psychosocial risk doesn’t escalate in documents. It escalates in leadership moments.
At Get Mentally Fit, we work as a risk-and-performance partner for organisations. We help leaders operationalise psychosocial WHS by strengthening their behaviour as a primary risk control.
This is not generic leadership coaching – it is psychosocial risk control development – practical, evidence-based, and tailored to the leader’s actual needs and real workplace challenges.

Boards and Executive Teams seeking stronger oversight of psychosocial risk management and evidence of lived leadership practice.
CEOs and Senior Leaders accountable for WHS compliance, culture, and organisational performance.
Middle Management cohorts carrying frontline exposure to psychological safety risks and performance pressure.
Organisations wanting to embed defensible leadership practices that reduce psychosocial hazard escalation and claims risk.

Get Mentally Fit provides leadership coaching in Australia, supporting CEOs, senior leaders, and middle managers to strengthen leadership capability, improve organisational performance, and operationalise psychosocial risk management obligations.
Under Australian WHS legislation, psychosocial risk management is a governance priority. Boards and CEOs must demonstrate active oversight, reasonable steps to prevent harm, and evidence of implemented controls. Leadership behaviour is one of the most powerful control measures – and the most scrutinised.
What does this mean?
For the Leader:
Greater clarity and composure in high-stakes decisions
Increased confidence managing complex people and performance issues
Enhanced emotional intelligence, resilience, and sustainable leadership
Reduced reactivity in conflict or escalated situations
For their Organisation:
Leadership aligned with WHS obligations and psychosocial risk controls
Early intervention in emerging hazards and reduced claims risk
Improved psychological safety, team performance, and engagement
Clear evidence of proactive, defensible leadership practice
‘Leader Support’ ensures leadership capability is developed, embedded, and practiced. This means real-world, defensible action that reduces risk and strengthens organisational performance.

Leadership coaching is a structured, evidence-based development process that helps leaders strengthen decision-making, emotional intelligence, performance management capability, and influence.
At Get Mentally Fit, leadership coaching is delivered by a qualified workplace psychologist and follows a staged approach – discovery, design, and deployment – ensuring leadership capability is operationalised as a daily practice.

Evidence-based organisational psychology
Practical behavioural application
Psychosocial risk and WHS alignment
