Description
Creating a safe, inclusive, and legally compliant workplace is not just an ethical responsibility—it’s a legal requirement under the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth). The Respect@Work framework, developed by the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC), mandates that organisations take proactive measures to prevent sexual harassment, sex-based discrimination, and workplace misconduct.
This engaging eLearning course equips leaders, HR professionals, and managers with the knowledge, tools, and best practices needed to meet their Positive Duty obligations and foster a culture of respect and accountability.
