Webinar: The Respect at Work Amendments; Major Changes to Anti-Discrimination and Human Rights legislation; an employer’s/PCBU’s positive duty, hostile workplace environments and other changes explained

Members will aware that in late 2021 there were a number of significant legislative amendments to legislation dealing with workplace sexual harassment. These changes implementing most, but not all, of the Respect at Work Inquiry recommendations.

On 12 December 2022 there were further significant changes when the Anti-Discrimination and Human Rights Legislation Amendment (Respect at Work) Act 2022 (the 2022 amendments) received Royal Assent. These amendments included some of the outstanding Respect at Work Inquiry recommendations and other measures.
The changes are significant, and employers should be aware of their implications for Australian workplaces.

  – Unlawful victimisation – what this means, which legislation is affected
