Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC AustraliaSince December 2022, under the Sex Discrimination Act, businesses have had a positive duty to eliminate, as far as possible, sexual harassment & discrimination (amongst other things) within the workplace.
Starting in December 2023, the Australian Human Rights Commission will have new powers to investigate compliance with the positive duty as well as take enforcement proceedings against non-compliant businesses.
As the duty applies to all organisations, regardless of size, everyone needs to have a strong handle on what the obligations are and how to comply with them.
Join Joe Mullavey and Charli Barclay at Page Seager Lawyers for a discussion on what the “positive duty” means and an overview of what is required to make sure your business is compliant and ready for the Commission’s new investigation and enforcement powers.
Canapes and nibbles from 5:00 PM
