Queensland’s Respect at Work laws introduced in 2024 represent a crucial step toward creating safer, more respectful spaces for all Queenslanders – whether that is in a workplace, at university, TAFE, or while at school.
These laws were scheduled to commence from 1 July this year. But the LNP Crisafulli Government has stalled them, putting many of these protections in limbo, including a positive duty to actively prevent discrimination, and new protections to prevent workers being sacked for accessing fertility treatment, or for being a victim of family and domestic violence.
It’s For Every Body is a campaign to win leave and flexibility entitlements for workers experiencing reproductive health issues.
Reproductive Health Leave describes an entitlement that provides leave and flexibility for workers to address reproductive health issues that impact on their capacity to work or take preventative measures like health screening.
Hands Off Our Safety is a union campaign, calling on the LNP Crisafulli Government to back down on proposed changes that would weaken critical workplace health and safety protections for Queensland workers.
Queenslanders will not accept a government stripping away protections that save lives through proactive prevention measures like the right to cease unsafe work where they face serious risk of harm and enforce safe work procedures in real time, not after the damage is done.
