Understanding and Addressing LGBTQIA+ Gendered Violence in Workplaces
Workplace Risk & Response Training
Gendered violence in the workplace doesn’t always look obvious - and for LGBTQIA+ people, it is often experienced through ongoing micro-aggressions, exclusion, and systemic gaps that go unaddressed.
This evidence-informed workshop supports organisations to better understand, prevent and respond to gendered violence affecting LGBTQIA+ workers - particularly women, trans and gender diverse people.
Grounded in the Being Valued Toolkit developed with WorkSafe Victoria, this session brings together lived experience, co-design with LGBTQIA+ Victorians who have experienced gendered violence at work, research and legal context to help organisations move from awareness to meaningful action.
Duration: 2–3 hours
Best for: Leaders, HR teams, people managers, WHS professionals, councils and service providers responsible for creating safe and compliant workplaces.
What you will gain:
A deeper understanding of how gendered violence uniquely impacts LGBTQIA+ workers
Increased confidence to identify and address less visible forms of harm
Practical tools to strengthen reporting, response and prevention systems
Clear guidance on organisational responsibilities and risk management
What we explore
How gendered violence shows up in LGBTQIA+ workplace contexts - including subtle and systemic forms
How to recognise microaggressions and patterns of harm that often go unchecked
Why LGBTQIA+ gendered violence is underreported - and how to build safer, more trusted reporting pathways
How to identify structural risk factors across policies, culture and workplace systems
How to respond effectively to incidents and disclosures, including supporting LGBTQIA+ staff with care and confidence
Practical strategies to prevent harm and meet legal obligations under workplace safety frameworks
Available online or in-person.
Preventing LGBTQIA+ Gendered Violence in Workplaces
Policy, Culture & Systems Change
Many organisations want to be inclusive - but aren’t always sure how to embed that commitment into everyday practice.
This workshop supports you to move beyond intention and into meaningful, sustainable change.
Together, we explore how LGBTQIA+ inclusion can be embedded across your policies, leadership, recruitment, service delivery and workplace culture - in ways that are practical, relevant and aligned with your organisational context.
Grounded in lived experience, co-design and evidence (including insights from the Being Valued research), this session translates inclusion into clear, actionable steps your team can implement straight away.
Duration: 2–3 hours
Best for: Executive teams, senior leaders, HR professionals, inclusion leads, and government or community organisations ready to deepen their impact.
What you’ll gain
A clear understanding of where your organisation is currently at - and where the gaps are
Practical strategies to strengthen policies, systems and day-to-day practices
Confidence to lead inclusion in a way that is thoughtful, trauma-informed and effective
A roadmap of next steps to support long-term cultural change
What we explore
What LGBTQIA+ people actually need from workplaces to feel safe, valued and able to thrive
Key insights from Victorian data on workplace gendered violence and inclusion
What makes a strong, effective LGBTQIA+ inclusion policy
How to design policies and procedures that translate into real-world practice
How workplace structures - including pride groups, leave policies and leadership behaviours - can improve safety, wellbeing, teamwork, creativity and retention
