Australian Human Rights Commission
Annual Report November 2022
took place refreshing existing face-to-face training packages as well as developing
online content including eLearning modules.
During the 2021–22 reporting period, the Commission developed and refreshed
content for contact officer training, appropriate workplace behaviour, upholding
the rights of people with disability, understanding workplace sexual harassment
and addressing workplace sexual harassment. New content was developed for
three new eLearning packages; appropriate workplace behaviour; anti-racism;
and understanding workplace sexual harassment.
Our training has received positive feedback from participants and training
partner. This includes repeat business from satisfied clients. TAFE NSW who are
expanding their contact officer program and has invited us to deliver contact
officer training again to another group at their organisation, and Legal Aid NSW
was so pleased with the Workplace Sexual Harassment train-the-trainer that they
have now signed up to enrol their entire staff in the Commission’s anti-racism
course.
Our training on workplace sexual harassment at the NSW Department of
Communities and Justice has also been expanded, with a new partnership
established for the development of an industry-specific workplace sexual
harassment eLearning course for managers in the retail and hospitality
industries.
This financial year also saw the migration of our eLearning courses to a new
Learning Management System (LMS) with improved functionality, to allow for a
significant scale-up in the new financial year.
