In 2023, the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) issued practical guidance to help organisations comply with the positive duty requirements under the Sex Discrimination Act.
This positive duty mandates that organisations and businesses take reasonable and proportionate steps to eliminate discrimination, sexual harassment, sex-based harassment, hostile work environments, and related acts of victimisation as far as is reasonably practicable.
Our Respect @ Work: Positive Duty Guidelines for Leaders course is designed to provide managers with the essential knowledge and tools needed to fulfill their positive duty obligations under the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth), as outlined in the Australian Human Rights Commission’s (AHRC) guidelines. This comprehensive and engaging module covers the four guiding principles and seven standards related to the positive duty, offering practical strategies for achieving desired outcomes.
Tailored specifically for organisational leaders and senior executives, the course empowers learners to effectively navigate these guidelines, ensuring legal compliance while actively promoting human rights and equality within their organisations. It emphasises the importance of eliminating sexual harassment and sex-based discrimination, and provides actionable strategies for fostering an inclusive, diverse workplace that upholds the rights and dignity of every individual.
