Employer Guide to Workplace Fairness

Preparing for the Workplace Fairness Act (WFA) is more than understanding the legislation - it also involves putting in place fair employment practices and developing the capabilities to sustain them. 

Every organisation is at a different stage of its Workplace Fairness journey. Some employers may be just beginning to understand the legislation, while others are reviewing their workplace practices or looking to further strengthen their HR and people management capabilities. 

To support organisations at every stage of this journey, TAFEP has curated practical resources to help employers understand the WFA, implement fair employment practices, and strengthen workplace fairness capabilities. 

The resources below are organised into three simple steps. Employers may start with the step that best reflects where your organisation is today, before progressing to the next stage, as you prepare for the WFA. They are Step 1: Understand the WFA, Step 2: Implement Fair Employment Practices and Step 3: Strengthen HR and People Management Capabilities.
