WorkWell Respect Network

About the WorkWell Respect Network

The WorkWell Respect Network is a new learning network funded by the Victorian State Government and delivered by WorkSafe Victoria that will bring workplaces together through a series of networking events and learning opportunities.

The WorkWell Respect Network will build knowledge among workplace leaders, senior management and employee and employer representatives to better prevent and respond to work-related gendered violence, including sexual harassment.

The WorkWell Respect Network aims to:

• improve awareness and understanding of what work-related gendered violence including sexual harassment is, who it affects and why it is an occupational health and safety issue
• ensure workplaces have improved knowledge and understanding of their responsibilities under the Occupational Health and Safety Act to ensure work-related gendered violence including sexual harassment is prevented and responded to
• influence workplace leaders on how to address the cultural and systemic drivers of work-related gendered violence including sexual harassment within their workplace or industry
• generate industry wide conversation to encourage innovative, best-practice strategies to better prevent and respond to work-related gendered violence including sexual harassment
