This week is the 2021 Australian Psychological Society (APS) Psychology week where the theme is ‘Working Minds’, exploring the role psychology plays in the workplace.

As founder and a former President of the APS, this week has great importance to me which is why I’d like to share these tips with you today.
Remember to always put your mental health first – and think of ways you can start working towards better happiness in your job s here.
