Workplace Partners Against Domestic Violence

WHO WE ARE

Australia’s CEO Challenge is a recognised charity which works with corporate Australia and the violence prevention sector to create and sustain a world free from family violence – where homes and workplaces are places of safety and care.

WHAT WE DO

We create partnerships between businesses and violence prevention services to give stability to women and children fleeing violent homes, and to provide more programs for people who use violent and abusive behaviours.

We educate employers and their staff to recognise and deal with violence by providing seminars and resources, and educating employers on how to best respond to an employee who may need help.  Click here to read more about our workplace education and awareness.

WHY BE INVOLVED?

Our business-community partnership model is unique in Australia.  Through the CEO Challenge program, businesses take an active role in providing support and resources to community-based prevention services – and in return receive unprecedented benefits.

Our workplace training sessions and resources help raise awareness of the complex social issues facing families affected by domestic violence.   They contribute to a safer and more productive workplace by giving employers and their staff the knowledge and skills to respond to violent situations – at home and at work.

Since its inception in 2000 Australia’s CEO Challenge has initiated 29 business-community partnerships.  Many of Australia’s leading firms are members, and most renew their commitment year after year as they observe the benefits to their refuge partner, their staff and their triple bottom line.  Find out more.
