It's unlawful for an employer to take adverse action against an employee (or potential employee) because they are (or have been) experiencing family and domestic violence. Adverse action includes doing, threatening, or organising any of the following:
- firing an employee
- injuring the employee in their employment (for example, not giving an employee their legal entitlements, such as pay or leave)
- changing an employee's job to their disadvantage
- treating an employee differently than others (for example, treating someone differently based on their sex or gender identity)
- not hiring someone
- offering a potential employee different and unfair terms and conditions for the job compared to other employees. For more information visit Protections at work at fairwork.gov.au/protections
