This leadership event will focus on People and Culture - Workplace Responsibilities to Domestic and Family Violence

This essential workshop will serve to highlight your workplace responsibilities when dealing with Actual and Suspected cases of Domestic and Family Violence
Expected outcomes will be to understand how to RECOGNISE, RESPOND, REFER, AND MANAGE your response to DFV.

This is not just a HR or HSE responsibility. This extends to everyone in the workplace.

Our QLD forum events are great opportunities to come together with others in your field to share and acquire knowledge. Attendance will be around 20 people, so you will gain an intimate understanding of the topic and depart with increased knowledge and a broader network to call upon in the future.

This forum will provide an opportunity to dive into the topic of domestic and family violence and how these impact the responsibilities of your organisation.
