Empower your workplace to make a difference.

Domestic and Family Violence doesn’t stay at home – it impacts the workplace, affecting the health, safety, wellbeing, performance and productivity of employees.

Each year, domestic and family violence costs Australian businesses more than $1.5 billion, with thousands of incidents reported across the Central West.

The DV Project is designed for businesses, organisations and workplaces that want to take proactive steps to support employees affected by domestic and family violence.

It’s suitable for:

• Employers and managers seeking to build safer, more inclusive workplaces.
• HR and wellbeing teams aiming to strengthen support policies and procedures.
• Staff champions or leaders looking to improve awareness and response across their organisation.

Through the program, your business can:

• Support employees experiencing DV with access to confidential, expert assistance.
• Reduce HR costs by improving staff retention and reducing absenteeism.
• Increase productivity through early intervention and a stronger workplace culture.
• Build confidence for staff and managers to recognise, respond and refer.
• Foster a safe environment where employees feel supported to disclose and seek help.

What’s included

• Practical resources and information for staff and managers.
