Frequently Asked Questions

Burnout is a syndrome characterised by chronic stress and the depletion of energy, leading to increased cynicism and poorer work performance.

Home life can lead to burnout too, creating serious problems for our health and relationships.

Compassion fatigue results from sympathising with suffering people. When we have no distance from those who are in pain we take on some of that pain. This causes stress and depletion symptoms like those of burnout.

Impact: Compassion fatigue (CF) is a type of psychological injury that costs Australian organisations more than $6 billion per year in lost productivity. CF results in an increase in unplanned absences from work, higher staff turnover, withdrawal and presenteeism, and poor work quality.

Legal requirements: Under the WHS Act, leaders have a duty to protect workers from psychological risks as well as physical risks.
