Domestic and family violence: a best practice guide for employers
28 July 2022
The Business Council of Australia recognises that workplaces are likely to include both people who experience domestic and family violence (DFV), and people who perpetrate DFV. The intent of this Guide is to provide businesses with information on how to best support employees experiencing, witnessing or using violence, and how to take action to assist at an early stage. The Guide also includes examples of ‘best practice’ measures to support staff who have experienced DFV.
No matter the circumstances, or whether the individual experiencing abuse recognises it, all forms of DFV are unacceptable, and all individuals have the right to live free from violence and abuse.
