What PeopleSense does

PeopleSense is an Australian workplace psychology and wellbeing services provider, founded in 2003 and headquartered in Subiaco, Western Australia, operating as a service brand within Altius Group Holdings Pty Ltd. The firm delivers a multidisciplinary portfolio spanning Employee Assistance Programs (EAP), exercise physiology, organizational psychology, executive health programs, injury rehabilitation, and end-to-end Workplace Health & Safety (WHS) services, organized around its proprietary "Altius Wellbeing Spectrum" framework that segments employee needs into four stages — Peak, At Risk, Acute, and Chronic — and tailors interventions accordingly.

Service delivery is workforce-led, with over 900 allied health professionals operating from 90+ physical locations across Australia (including Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney, Parramatta, Miranda, Port Macquarie, Tuggerah, and Subiaco), supported by dedicated phone lines for general enquiries, EAP intake, and critical incident response. The technology layer is described as "technology-enabled" solutions for workplace health delivery but no proprietary digital platform, app, API, or AI/ML capability is disclosed in the source material; ISO 27001 information security certification is held via a Compass certification.

The business model is enterprise B2B with quote-based pricing and no publicly disclosed rates. Revenue streams include recurring subscription-style EAP contracts billed per employee or as fixed corporate agreements, professional-services-style rehabilitation contracts with insurers and employers, and ad hoc psychology and wellbeing engagements. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales targeting HR leaders with channel distribution through insurance carriers, brokers, and government agencies. Disclosed enterprise and government customers span mining (Fortescue), healthcare (NSW Health Northern NSW), construction (Multiplex), rail/transport (Aurizon), food and agriculture (JBS, CFS), suggesting a horizontally diversified but enterprise-anchored book of business. Cumulative outcomes cited are 360,000+ people supported through health setbacks and 600,000+ Australians whose wellbeing has been improved.
