Building on the last working group meeting of 2023, working group members had the opportunity to hear from speakers to understand more about regulatory changes in relation to labour rights and the workplace. In December 2022, a new positive duty to eradicate instances of sex discrimination and harassment within the workplace was introduced through the Anti-Discrimination and Human Rights Legislation Amendment (Respect at Work) Act 2022 (Cth) (the Act), an amendment to the Sex Discrimination Act 1984. What steps can investors take to respond to these changes?The group was lucky enough to hear from the Australian Human Rights Commission, Samantha Ramsay (Senior Lawyer, Positive Duty, Compliance & Enforcement Team) and Dr Meredith Nash (Director – Sexual Harassment & Gendered Violence and is KPMG’s national lead for Respect@Work) about these changes.Please note this session was not recorded as mentioned in pre-event communications.
