 Additional Workshops & Training

  • Positive Duty: Employers must prevent unlawful conduct such as sexual harassment and discrimination. 

  • Gender Equality: Employers must identify and enact targets aimed at driving gender equality in the workplace.

    For defined entities under Victoria’s Gender Equality Act 2020, there are three major reporting deliverables:

    • Workplace Gender Audit (Due: 1 December 2025) → Collect and submit workforce data and employee experience data against the seven workplace gender equality indicators.

    • Progress Reporting (Due: 1 May 2026) → Report on what’s been achieved—against indicators, your previous GEAP, and your Gender Impact Assessments (GIAs).

    • New Gender Equality Action Plan (Due: 1 May 2026) → A four-year plan to advance gender equality, grounded in data, consultation, and your learnings so far.

    Let’s work together to help you navigate the GEAP process today.

  • Psychosocial hazards: Employers must take all reasonable steps to eliminate psychosocial risks to their employees. 


    A psychosocial hazard is anything that could cause psychological harm (e.g. harm someone’s mental health).

    Psychosocial hazards can include (but not limited to);

    • Workplace violence and aggression

    • Sexual and gender-based harassment

    • Bullying

    • Traumatic events or materials.

  • Family & Domestic Violence (FDV) Leave: All employees are entitled to 10 days paid FDV leave per year.
    This includes full-time, part-time and casual employees.

Employee Wellbeing
& Development

  • Under Australian Work Health and Safety laws, a person conducting a business must manage the risk of psychosocial hazards in the workplace.

    In March 2025, federal parliament passed the Workplace Gender Equality Amendment (Setting Gender Equality Targets) Act 2025 and created the Workplace Gender Equality (Gender Equality Targets) Instrument 2025 to require employers with 500 or more direct employees to select and achieve or improve against gender equality targets.
