Take Action in the Workplace on Domestic and Family Violence
The Champions of Change Coalition ‘Playing Our Part’ framework provides guidance to organisations taking action on domestic and family violence in the workplace. Organisations can take action in four ways: supporting employees experiencing domestic and family violence; responding to employees who are or may be using domestic and family violence; contributing to the prevention of domestic and family violence by progressing gender and other forms of equality; extending the organisational responses to reach clients, customers and local communities.

Domestic and family violence is an issue that needs widespread action from all parts of the community so we can bring about real and lasting change.
Andy Penn, CEO, Telstra
As a leader of a large and diverse workforce, I know our workplace can have a profound impact on creating a more gender equal society by promoting respectful and inclusive behaviours at work and in all aspects of our lives.
David Larocca, Oceania CEO & Regional Managing Partner, EY
In Australia 62% of women who have experienced or are currently experiencing family and domestic violence are in the paid workforce, and it is therefore highly likely that there are members of our team (both men and women) who are silently living with this activity taking place in their family home.
Scott Wyatt, CEO, Viva Energy
Domestic and family violence is a scourge on society and we all bear a responsibility, particularly as employers, to do all we can to ensure our workplaces operate as a refuge and place of safe harbour for all.
Richard Enthoven, Managing Director, Hollard Holdings Australia
Embedding workplace responses that resonate with employees experiencing violence and abuse is critical, so they feel safe to speak up and be supported to seek assistance in their own workplace and to ensure perpetrating behaviours within workplaces are not tolerated.
