Ensure your staff who work from home or remotely understand the importance of having work areas that are safe and comfortable, and that they take care of their mental and physical health.
The short answer
Working from Home – Checklist training is for everyone in scope in Australia and New Zealand and Global Best Practice. There is no single instrument behind it; it is treated as good practice. It runs online in about 35 to 40 minutes. Run it off the shelf as it is, or have Hungry Minds rebuild it around your own policies and scenarios.

These days, many employees work from home or remotely rather than in a traditional office setting.
While this flexibility often offers a better work-life balance, it also presents risks related to ensuring a safe, secure and ergonomic work environment.

- Work area
- Security
- Electrical equipment
- Storage and housekeeping
- Physical demands
- Work practices
- Other factors
- Work surface
- Using a laptop

- Setting up your peripherals
What people can do afterwards
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the characteristics of a safe and effective work area.
- Maintain a secure remote working environment.
- Apply safe practices when using electrical equipment.
- Implement effective storage and housekeeping measures.
- Recognise and manage physical demands associated with remote work.

How it is delivered
- Structured learning Designed for learners who are new to the topic or want a comprehensive overview. The course explores the subject in detail and typically takes 35–40 minutes to complete.
Two ways to run it
-
Your policies, your scenarios
We rebuild “Working from Home – Checklist” around how your organisation actually works, so the training changes behaviour instead of recording completions.
Build a custom version -
Ready to run as it is
Deploy the course off the shelf, with light branding if you want it. Delivered with our partner Safetrac, who will contact you directly.
Deploy off the shelf
Either way, you can run it through our compliance platform or take it as a SCORM package for the LMS you already have.
What it costs
Off-the-shelf pricing starts at $4,000 a year for up to ten courses with your logo and colours applied, rising with how much you want changed. The tiers are the same across the catalogue, so they are set out once on the pricing page rather than repeated on all 101 courses.
If what you actually need is your own scenarios and your own policies rather than a reskin, that is a custom build, and it is the work Hungry Minds does.
Choosing an LMS
If you don’t currently have an LMS, we can help you select a platform that suits your organisation.
For smaller teams or organisations getting started, we typically recommend LearnWorlds for its ease of use and quick setup.For organisations requiring more advanced functionality and reporting, TalentLMS is a strong option.

We may receive a commission if you sign up to an LMS we recommend. It does not change what we recommend.
