Get ready: the gender laws you need to be across

In three short months, Australian employers will have new obligations to create safe, respectful, inclusive workplaces. Importantly, from December 12, the onus will be on employers to proactively prevent sexual harassment and discrimination.

What does that really mean, and how do you ensure you’re ready?

“What is so exciting about this new legislation is that what lies at the heart of it is this really preventative approach.” – Ruby Leahy Gatfield
