Domestic and family violence (DFV) is a national crisis in Australia. There is increasing recognition across Australian industries and internationally that DFV
is a workplace issue. Experiences of DFV not only impacts on victim-survivors’ engagement in the workforce but also their work performance and their career progression. Workplaces can be common sites of DFV with perpetrators utilising a range of abusive behaviours to disrupt individual’s participation in the workplace and their engagement with co-workers and managers. Furthermore, there is growing consensus that workplaces can play a critical role in responding to DFV through supporting employees affected by DFV.
This is the report presented to the Fair Work Commission to inform their Family and Domestic and Violence Leave Review.
