ARA Employment Relations: Respect@Work
In 2020 the Australian Human Rights Commission released the Respect@Work Report, which made 55 recommendations to combat sexual harassment in Australian workplaces.
Since then, we have had significant legislative change in this area, with the previous Liberal Government legislating to implement 47 of the 55 recommendations. In 2022, the Labor Government committed to implementing a further 7 of the recommendations and in December 2022, the Anti-Discrimination and Human Rights Legislation Amendment (Respect at Work) Bill 2022 was passed.
This member-only webinar will provide a detailed explanation of the changes to sexual harassment laws in Australia, and ensure employers are aware of their obligations.

Secure Jobs, Better Pay changes update
In December 2022 the Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Secure Jobs, Better Pay) Bill 2022 (Bill) passed Parliament.
This piece of legislation aims to deliver a fairer workplace relations system for Australian workers but it also seeks to create job stability, fair pay, gender equality, and new protections for employees. The new legislation reframes objects of the Fair Work Act, and implements a variety of changes including but not limited to restricting fixed-term contracts, prohibiting pay secrecy and sexual harassment at work to significantly redesigning the enterprise agreement regime, the changes are complex.
These new laws are likely to impact all employers and employees in Australia in some way, so it is crucial that businesses understand the full effect of these laws to ensure compliance.
