Creating a supportive workplace
Domestic and family violence or coercive control can impact a person's safety, wellbeing, attendance and performance at work.
All employees are entitled to 10 days of paid family and domestic violence leave each year. This includes full-time, part-time and casual employees. You may also be able to apply for flexible working arrangements.
Local government, businesses and non-government organisations are encouraged to adapt the domestic and family violence workplace package to suit their workplaces. Here you can useful resources to help your workplace meet the needs of employees affected by domestic and family violence or coercive control.
In addition to developing a supportive workplace, employers can also help someone experiencing domestic and family violence or coercive control on a personal level.
