<p>Year Coordinators in Australian secondary schools are on the front line of support for students’ wellbeing. Given rising rates of psychological distress amongst high school students and increases in the workload and work complexity of teachers, Year Coordinators may be at particular risk of secondary traumatic stress and burnout—the two components of compassion fatigue. This study examines the prevalence of compassion fatigue and its correlates among Year Coordinators (<i>N</i> = 288) to gain deeper understandings of its risk and mitigation. Findings revealed that compassion fatigue is a significant occupational hazard for Australian Year Coordinators. Gender identity, years of experience and reported caseload were shown to have a significant positive association with compassion fatigue. Conversely, engagement in self-care practices, having stronger social supports, higher levels of compassion satisfaction and reported emotional separation were found to have a significant negative association with compassion fatigue. These findings may be used by schools to identify staff at risk of compassion fatigue and implement measures to protect teachers' psychological well-being and their ability to support their students.</p>
