Occupational Health and Safety Act
http://www.workcover.vic.gov.au/vwa/home.nsf/pages/ohsactWorkCover provides information about the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004, which requires employers to provide a workplace free of psychosocial hazards. Stress caused by the difficulty of balancing work and family may fall within this definition, althought this is yet to be tested.
