Use of the Australian Industry Group Resource Centre is subject to the Terms of Usage, Privacy Policy and Membership Terms.
The National Employment Standards (NES) contain an entitlement to 10 days of paid family and domestic violence leave. The paid entitlement replaced the previous entitlement to 5 days of unpaid family and domestic violence leave, and commenced from 1 February 2023 for employers that are not small business employers. For small business employers (employers with less than 15 employees), the paid leave entitlement commenced from 1 August 2023.
Many employers are now moving to create formal policies and practices addressing the support needs of employees experiencing family and domestic violence and the workplace health and safety implications for the employee and broader workplace.
This sample policy is designed to both inform and educate the workplace about the issues and to provide guidance for an employer experiencing issues arising from family and domestic violence in the workplace both at an individual and workplace level. /p>
