C2020-07 Domestic and Family Violence Workplace Support Policy – Guiding Principles for Agencies

Description

The NSW Government strongly supports initiatives that enable and support victims of domestic and family violence to continue to participate in the workforce.

A Domestic and Family Violence Workplace Support Policy has been developed to assist agencies to support NSW Government Sector employees who experience domestic and family violence.

Detailed Outline

The NSW Government strongly supports initiatives that enable and support victims of domestic and family violence to continue to participate in the workforce.

The workplace can make a significant difference to employees experiencing domestic and family violence by providing appropriate safety and support measures. Fostering a workplace culture where employees experiencing domestic and family violence are supported at work while also having access to adequate leave contributes to a healthy and safe working environment for all.

A Domestic and Family Violence Workplace Support Policy – Guiding Principles for Agencies has been prepared by Public Sector Industrial Relations and Women NSW (Department of Family and Community Services) in consultation with the Public Service Commission.

See Attachment: Domestic and Family Violence Workplace Support Policy – Guiding Principles for Agencies .

From 1 July 2019 Industrial Relations became the responsibility of the Department of Premier and Cabinet. This Circular replaces TC19-18. The content remains unchanged.
