White Ribbon National Workplace Program
Engaging Australian businesses and industrial organisations to establish a national workplace approach to prevent and reduce violence against women.
White Ribbon is currently developing the pilot model for a National Workplace Program that aims to create long-term sustainable change in attitudes to violence and to implementing prevention strategies through the workplace. The Program:
- will be designed as an awareness, early intervention and prevention program specifically for workplace settings;
- will work to increase the knowledge and skills of staff and managers to address issues of violence against women in the workplace;
- will encompass large, medium and small-scale workplaces;
- is funded by the Australian Government Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs for a term of three years.
