From 12 December 2023, changes to the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth) will impose on employers, including Local Governments, a positive duty to prevent sexual harassment and sex-based harassment in the workplace. The Australian Human Rights Commission will also be granted new powers to investigate compliance with this positive duty without necessarily receiving a complaint.
To coincide with the changes to the legislation we are launching two new training packages, details of which are contained on our website and also set out below. We look forward to welcoming you at an upcoming training session soon.

Please email WALGA Training if you are interested in either of these options and a quote can be arranged.
