For more than 80 years, The Haymarket has been a locally owned and operated company in Ballarat. Greg, Ian, Philip, and Robert Taylor continue to run the family business. Proudly employing over thirty staff, we support many community events and clubs throughout the Ballarat region.
Originally trading as the Hancock Company, the business first began in 1943 and was located in Armstrong Street, opposite the new Government Hub site. We are now located at 112 Market Street on the corner of Doveton St Ballarat, as well as having a second outlet at 902 La Trobe Street Delacombe and the family farm at Camperdown-Lismore Road Lismore provides grain and hay for our produce department.
New Victorian regulations clarify that psychosocial hazards must be managed in the same way as physical risks. Hazards such as bullying, harassment, violence, and exposure to traumatic material can cause serious psychological injury if left unaddressed.
The Occupational Health and Safety (Psychological Health) Regulations 2025 introduce specific duties for Victorian employers to identify psychosocial hazards, control associated risks, and regularly review those controls.
To support compliance, the Victorian Chamber has developed fact sheets covering 14 key psychosocial hazards, how they show up, how to control them, and other supports and resources. Head here to read and learn more through their Psychosocial Health Hub.
