Understanding the consequences of discrimination
and the scope and effect of legislation designed to combat it in the
workplace, is a key element to the creation and sustainability of an
inclusive culture in the workplace. Organisations need to have a clear
understanding of the legal and regulatory framework pertaining to
discriminatory practices in the workplace.
This, in turn, encompasses a need for managers and
employees to have a broad practical knowledge of Federal and State
anti-discrimination laws, what rights and obligations flow from them
and also to understand the negative consequences, for the organisation
and its members, which might ensure when discriminatory acts occur.
Diversity Consulting's legal experts are able to
ensure that your organisation is kept abreast of all Federal and State
laws which govern discriminatory actions and practices in your
workplace. We are able to give advice and guidance on the formulation
of policy and other documents which will inform managers and employees
as to how to limit the incidents of inappropriate workplace behaviour,
how to respond when it occurs in the workplace and what procedures
should be followed for lodging complaints; conducting investigations
and resolving disputes.

Discrimination, Harassment and Bullying is designed to provide
practical interventions to reduce discrimination in the workplace. Our
solutions can be tailored to meet the circumstances of your
