About Us

We're building the operating system for people and safety at work

Every organisation owes its people a duty of care. That duty deserves real infrastructure, not improvisation. We are building it, starting with the harm that has gone unmeasured the longest and now carries the force of law.

About Us

We're building the operating system for people and safety at work

Physical safety has had decades of infrastructure. The rest of an organisation's duty of care has had spreadsheets.

We're building the modern operating system for managing people and safety at work, and we start where the gap is widest: psychosocial compliance. ReFresh is Australia's purpose-built psychosocial operating system, built to make risk you cannot easily see visible, measurable, and something you can act on before it becomes harm that could have been prevented. That is the foundation, not the ceiling. The same duty of care runs through every part of an organisation, and most of it is still run on improvisation. We intend to change that.

Why this matters

Psychological injury is now among the most expensive and slowest-to-resolve harm in Australian workplaces. A single claim averages close to $290,000 and keeps people off work far longer than a physical injury. The harm was always there. What changed is that, as of December 2025, every Australian jurisdiction requires employers to identify, assess, and control psychosocial hazards with the same rigour as physical safety. The obligation to manage it systematically is new. The responsibility is not.

What we believe

Psychological harm at work is not soft, and it is not inevitable. It is a hazard like any other, and hazards can be identified, reduced, and managed. Intention is no longer enough. Every organisation says it cares about its people. The ones that can prove it are building systems, not sentiment. Duty of care deserves real infrastructure. Finance has it. Security has it. Physical safety has it. The rest has been left to spreadsheets and goodwill. We're here to close that gap.

How we work

We take a serious obligation seriously without losing the human thread that makes it matter. Calm rather than alarmist, specific rather than vague, honest about what a regulator would actually look for. We would rather show an organisation where it stands than sell it a feeling of safety.

Backed by established Aussie investors

In January 2026, ReFresh closed a $1.3M pre-seed round led by Black Nova VC, with Archangel VC and Antler participating. It followed our first round of $260k from Antler in 2025. We are glad to have backing from established Australian venture firms and angel investors as we build the psychosocial operating system.
