Family and domestic violence (‘FDV’) is a critical national health and welfare issue. It is also an often-underappreciated workplace issue. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, two thirds of women experiencing violence from a current partner are employed. Further, approximately one in five Australian workers experiencing FDV report the violence continuing in the workplace.
In recognition of the prevalence of FDV in our community, all employees are now entitled to 10 days’ paid family and domestic violence leave.
Now, more than ever, it is imperative that your Managers, Directors and HR team understand the challenges that an employee’s exposure to FDV can present for them as an individual, as well as to the broader workforce, and to appreciate how to support employees experiencing FDV while also managing legal risk.
Join our intensive in-person 4-hour FDV Contact Officer Training Course, delivered in partnership with Transitioning Well, and equip your team with the knowledge and skills to make a real difference.
