Safe Work Australia has updated the Family and domestic violence at work information sheet to reflect changes to the Fair Work Act 2009 around entitlements to paid family and domestic violence leave.

Managing the risk of family and domestic violence at the workplace is complex and needs to be handled appropriately and sensitively. It becomes a WHS risk if the perpetrator makes threats, intimidates, or carries out violence on a partner or family member at their workplace, including if they are working from home. 

This information sheet provides guidance on how persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) can help provide a safe environment for workers and where to seek further advice.

Check out the information sheet – Family and domestic violence at work and see the Fair Work Ombudsman’s website for information on changes to the Fair Work Act.
