About this topic

Our work lives have a significant influence on us professionally and personally, and help shape our attitudes, beliefs and behaviours around gender and violence against women.

Your workplace can help create an Australia where all women are safe, equal and valued.

Our Watch provides free tools to help you identify key actions to ensure that gender equality and respect are at the centre of your business or organisation.

What is the Workplace Equality and Respect Model?

Our Watch's Workplace Equality and Respect Model is an evidence-based approach that can guide you to embed gender equality in your workplace and prevent sexual harassment and other forms of gender-based violence including domestic and family violence.
