Prior Work - Psychosocial Risk Intelligence
What "non-commercial" means in practice
Permitted: Using Prior Work within an organisation to assess and improve the psychosocial health of your own workforce - even if that organisation is a commercial business. Internal WHS compliance work is not a commercial use of the tool itself.
Not permitted: Delivering Prior Work - or reports generated by it - as a component of a service you charge clients for. If you are an OHS consultant, organisational psychologist, or advisory firm and you intend to use Prior Work in client engagements, please get in touch to discuss appropriate arrangements.
If you are unsure whether your intended use is permitted, the safest approach is to contact us before proceeding.

Attribution notice
When sharing or adapting Prior Work, please include the following notice:
Prior Work - Psychosocial Risk Intelligence. priorwork.au. Licenced under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.
Why this licence?
Psychosocial risk assessment should not be a commodity. The evidence base - data models, survey instruments, report templates - was developed to make rigorous, expert-level WHS support available to workplaces that can't afford specialist consulting.
CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 keeps the tool free and open while preventing repackaging for sale. Derivative works carry the same terms, so improvements remain available to everyone.
