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.
