We are the government agency responsible for the administration of New South Wales anti-discrimination law, including the conciliation of discrimination and harassment complaints. This means we are most able to provide you with comprehensive and up-to-date information about the law, cases that have been going through the courts, and the sorts of complaints that are lodged with us.
Many businesses have engaged us to provide training programs for employees working in sites throughout Australia, and in some cases overseas. We are well used to grappling with the minefield of discrimination-related laws - federal, New South Wales and those applying in other States and Territories.
We have extensive experience in designing and delivering education and training programs on this subject to suit a range of audience needs in the private, public, voluntary and community sectors.
We have a proven ability to handle difficult and/or controversial questions about discrimination and harassment in a light-hearted yet thought-provoking manner as appropriate to the particular audience.
We have wide experience in providing practical advice to all sectors about how to design best practice policies and procedures that will turn anti-discrimination law to your advantage and help you maximise the effectiveness of your people management and service deliveryWho has the Board provided training for?
