Threatened at work, used duress alarm, no one ever came to my aid, not sure what to do.

I'm now traumatised, don't feel safe at work, and has taken a huge mental toll on me

Ex-PI Lawyer here - ASAP go to your GP, tell them what happened - stress on how it has caused you to be traumatised and the mental injury. Tell them that you want to do a WorkCover claim. They will most likely refer you to a psychologist/psychiatrist. Make sure you obtain a Certificate of Capacity from them. Make sure that your doctor is on your side...

At the same time, contact IRO approved lawyer (https://iro.nsw.gov.au/injured-persons/find-a-lawyer). Tell them your situation. They will assist you with the whole process. It is entirely free.

Feel like I have to quit for my own safety and sanity but almost can't financially afford to

Do not quit. Get the claim started, and if you are indeed suffering from a diagnosable psychological injury, and your doctor agrees, they will likely give either partial capacity or no capacity to work. At this point, you should be focusing on recovering. The insurer will pay you your wage minus the applicable pay periods....
