Workplace responses to family violence – marking International Women’s Day
March 08, 2019 at 11:10 AM
HON IAIN LEES-GALLOWAY | JAN LOGIE
In the lead up to International Women’s Day, the Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety, Hon Iain Lees-Galloway, and the Parliamentary Under-Secretary on Domestic and Sexual Violence, Jan Logie MP, met with business leaders today to talk about the importance of workplace responses to family violence ahead of the Domestic Violence Victims’ Protection Act taking effect on 1 April.
“We must prioritise supporting people experiencing family violence. The Domestic Violence Victims’ Protection Act enhances legal protections in the workplace for people affected by domestic or family violence, providing for domestic violence leave and flexible working arrangements.
“The Act takes effect on 1 April, and we encourage employers to ensure they have good policy and practice in place to support workers affected by family violence,” said Iain Lees-Galloway, Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety.
The Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) is working with government and non-government partners to develop information for employers to implement the Act and improve workplace responses to family violence. Information and resources will be available on government websites, sent out directly to employers, and in workplaces.
A Family Violence Policy Builder provides support for employers to develop fit-for-purpose policies that support workplace responses to family violence.
