We launched our Workplace Harassment and Discrimination Advisory (WHDA) services five years ago at AWARE to support individuals facing workplace harassment and discrimination. Our goal was not only to support affected parties but also to understand the barriers they encountered in seeking justice and to advocate for stronger legal protections.

We are proud that our research and advocacy efforts, informed by our experiences with WHDA, have contributed to the introduction of the Workplace Fairness legislation and the Tripartite Guidelines on Flexible Workplace Arrangement Requests.

In light of these significant developments, AWARE has decided to discontinue the WHDA services. The last day of service will be May 31, 2024. However, our commitment to fostering progressive workplaces continues. We will keep monitoring the impact and efficacy of the new laws and policies.

For women experiencing distress and/or violence in the workplace, you can reach out to AWARE’s Women’s Care Centre for information and support. Additionally, our Sexual Assault Care Centre serves individuals of all genders and is also available for support. For further guidance and assistance, you can contact TAFEP.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our clients, donors, and all supporters who have contributed to WHDA’s success and impact.
