Meeting your legal obligations and genuinely caring for your employees

Your obligations as an employer

Between 55% and 70% of women experiencing domestic violence are in paid employment. Many are managing dangerous, complex personal situations while maintaining full professional responsibilities, in silence.

Her Pathway Forward provides your employees with a dedicated Chief of Staff for what is happening outside the workplace. Someone who coordinates the complexity, recommends and refers the right professionals, and ensures nothing falls through the gaps.

No two situations are the same. That is precisely why a specialist navigator makes the difference that generic EAP programs cannot. Your employee stays present, functional and protected professionally. We handle the navigation.

Most organisations have DV leave policies and EAP counselling. What very few have is the next layer, the practical navigation support that helps an employee who has recognised their situation actually take action safely.

Your Legal Obligations as an Employer

Under the Commonwealth Work Health and Safety Act 2011, all Australian workplaces have a legal obligation to provide a safe working environment. Domestic violence that spills into the workplace creates a direct WHS exposure.
Under the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012, many organisations are required to actively address gender equality, including policies and practices relating to domestic violence.
Paid family and domestic violence leave is now legislated for all Australian employees. Organisations that only meet the minimum are exposed. Those that go further differentiate.
Organisations have a duty of care to employees experiencing domestic violence. Failing to provide adequate support creates real legal and reputational risk.
