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.
