The Australian teacher work, health and wellbeing report: An analysis of teachers’ psychosocial work environments and wellbeing in government schools
This report presents a national analysis of teachers’ work environments and wellbeing in Australian government schools, based on data from 950 teachers and benchmarked against other professions. Using the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ III), it explores key psychosocial factors, such as workload, emotional demands, role clarity, support systems, and school culture, that influence teacher stress, burnout, and wellbeing. The findings reveal unique pressures faced by teachers and highlight the need for targeted policy interventions to improve working conditions, support teacher health, and enhance workforce sustainability.
