A Message from Our CEO
Learn more about Emtrain
In Australia, employers are now legally required to take proactive steps to prevent workplace harassment—not just respond when it happens. With the 2022 Respect@Work amendments and the introduction of a “positive duty” under the Sex Discrimination Act, organizations must go beyond policies and complaints systems. They must take meaningful action to eliminate harassment, discrimination, and hostile workplace environments before they occur. Our training helps ensure your workplace meets these expectations—while building a culture of respect, inclusion, and psychological safety.
