The Future Path to Reform
The search for law reform solutions reveals that if workplaces are the new communities, given the prevalence and impact of family violence, then a wide range of actors in the employment law system have a role to play in responding to and addressing family violence.
The ALRC’s Final Report, in combination with the National Plan and other initiatives in this area, provides an important blueprint for reform. Ultimately, the measure of our law reform success must be whether the experiences of Jenny and others like her would be different under an employment law system reformed to encompass the measures outlined in this chapter. To date the answer is mixed and depends on whether Jenny has access to family violence-related leave and entitlements under an enterprise agreement or modern award and whether Jenny’s workplace has adopted the necessary policies, procedures and safety plans. In time, the employment and antidiscrimination law systems must be able to appropriately identify and respond to family violence in order to make a difference in the lives of all Australians experiencing family violence, including people like Jenny.
