Education & Training


Give your people the knowledge and understanding they need to help you eradicate sex discrimination and sexual harassment from your workplace.


Dr Genevieve Burnett provides education and training that is not only practical but engaging.

Why is education and training for your people a key part of complying with the Positive Duty?

Under the Australian Human Rights Commission's Guidelines for Complying with the Positive Duty, providing education and training for your people is a key part of achieving compliance under the two of the seven standards - ‘Leadership’ and ‘Knowledge’

The idea is that education should be ongoing and aim to embed equality, respect, safety and inclusion as core values in your business or organisation.

You need to ensure that your employees, including leaders and managers, are educated about the Positive Duty and relevant unlawful conduct, as well as their roles, rights and responsibilities.

Why high-quality education and training is so important

You also need to your people see training as a necessary and meaningful part of participating the workplace rather than simply as a compliance requirement.

Ideally, it should be led by an instructor with expertise in discrimination and harassment. That person should also have the skills to engage with people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, as well as  other marginalised groups.

Why you should retain Dr Genevieve Burnett to train your people?

Due to my academic background, I have the skills to ensure that the training environment is free from dogma.

Instead, I will create an environment that is safe and enables your people to debate the key issues and ask questions, as well as express doubts and concerns. Most importantly, my training is engaging and inspiring.

My key message is that complying with the Positive Duty is about building organisations where everyone is happy to work – not just for those who, in the past, have been discriminated against, harassed and victimised.

Training should be about building bridges between your people rather than polarising them. It should encourage them to take responsibility and, ultimately, help you build a better workplace.
