Making

reasonable adjustments
For many people experiencing a mental health condition, small
changes to the working environment will be enough to ensure they
have an equal opportunity to perform the requirements of the job.
If youre an employer, youre required by the Disability
Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth) to make reasonable adjustments so
that a person with a mental health condition can productively
perform the functions of a job.
This might include:
adjustments to work methods or arrangements, including hours of
work and use of leave entitlements
adjustments to the workplace or work-related premises,
equipment or facilities
adjustments to work-related rules or modifications to enable a
person to comply with rules as they exist.
The individual situation will dictate what kinds of adjustments are
reasonable in the circumstances. In most cases, the employee
involved will be able to identify what changes are required. If the
requested adjustments would impose unjustifiable hardship on
your organisation or change the roles inherent requirements,
there is no obligation to implement them..
