Join us on Wednesday the 24th of July, at the Victoria State Library for the official launch of the WorkWell Respect Network (WWRN). This event marks a pivotal moment in fostering safer and more inclusive workplaces across Victoria. You will learn about the WWRN and hear from industry partners about how working together can help create collective impact and positive change in Victorian workplaces.

Additionally, you will hear about upcoming industry forums designed to support leaders to address work-related gendered violence as an OHS issue in the workplace and to understand how an intersectional lens can be applied.

Please note: this launch event is by invitation only, for those participating in the WorkWell Respect Network.

For more information on the program, and to get involved, visit nawo.org.au/wwrn, or register for one of the four upcoming forums. The program is free of charge and open to both Victorian-based NAWO members and non-member companies. We aim to bring the program to NAWO members nationwide in the near future.

What is the WorkWell Respect Network?

The WWRN is a consortium dedicated to creating safe and equitable workplaces, led by the Sir Zelman Cowen Centre at Victoria University. By bringing together leaders from diverse industries, the WWRN aims to raise awareness, facilitate learning, and empower change towards preventing and responding to gendered violence. The project recognises work-related gendered violence as an OHS issue, and acknowledges that women and non-binary workers with intersectional identities belonging to underrepresented races, religions and ethnicities, are at a greater risk of harm.

Launch Event Highlights:

• Key Speakers: Hear from distinguished guests including Nyadol Nyuon and others, who will discuss the importance of intersectionality in workplace safety.
• Panel Presentation: Engage with our industry partners as they share strategies and tools tailored to address gendered violence and promote inclusive workplace cultures.
• Networking Opportunity: Connect with stakeholders, industry leaders, and experts committed to advancing workplace safety.
