WorkHaven
Safer workplaces. Stronger businesses.
When workplace safety and respect are prioritised, teams perform better, staff wellbeing improves, turnover decreases and legal risks shrink.
WorkHaven helps organisations create connected, supportive and safe workplaces by addressing domestic and family violence (DFV), sexual harassment and workplace bullying and discrimination.
Let us help you create a stronger, more resilient workforce and a business that thrives.
Why workplace safety and respect is a smart investment
- 1 in 4 women and 1 in 14 men have experienced domestic and family violence.
- 65% of women experiencing domestic violence are in the workforce.
- 1 in 3 people have experienced sexual harassment at work in the last five years.
- The median time off work due to serious mental health claims (from workplace harassment, bullying, or violence) is 27 weeks.
When you address workplace safety proactively, you protect your people, strengthen your culture and reduce legal and financial risk.

Our Champions Training, bystander intervention and leadership workshops equip teams with the skills to prevent and respond to workplace harm, strengthening domestic violence workplace support, sexual harassment workplace support and helping prevent bullying, discrimination and harassment.

Specialist employee support
Our Verdella DFV Recovery Program provides structured, long-term domestic violence workplace support, helping employees rebuild their confidence, health and financial independence while reducing absenteeism and turnover.
Custom workplace initiatives
We design tailored programs and activities that align with your business goals, whether it’s an industry-wide campaign, organisational DFV strategy, or targeted initiatives to reduce the impact and incidence of DFV, sexual harassment, bullying and discrimination.
Why partner with WorkHaven?
Reduce workplace risk
Proactively reducing the impact and incidence of domestic & family violence, sexual harassment and workplace bullying and discrimination helps your organisation stay compliant, minimise legal exposure including psychosocial hazards and protect your reputation.
Improve productivity & retention
A safe, supportive workplace leads to lower absenteeism, higher morale and stronger employee engagement, reducing turnover and associated costs.
Foster connected workplaces
Opening conversations about DFV often creates a ripple effect that encourages employees to discuss other difficult topics in a supportive environment. This builds a connected workplace where trust, psychosocial safety and open communication lead to stronger collaboration, better problem-solving and a more engaged workforce.
Practical, tailored solutions
We don’t do one-size-fits-all. Our policy development, training and communication strategies are designed to meet your organisation’s unique needs and industry requirements.
Proven expertise, trusted by leaders
With experience across government, corporate and industry sectors, we’ve helped 100,000+ employees build safer workplaces through domestic violence workplace support, sexual harassment workplace support and workplace bullying and discrimination prevention.
Beyond compliance: Building a stronger workplace
Creating a culture of respect and accountability strengthens teams, enhances brand reputation and fosters long-term business success and leads to safer communities.
A trauma-informed approach to workplace culture
At WorkHaven, we take a practical, results-driven approach to creating safer, more respectful workplaces. We don’t just provide information—we give organisations the tools, training and strategies to address domestic violence workplace support, sexual harassment workplace support and workplace bullying and discrimination prevention in a way that drives real change.
- Educate – Building knowledge & awareness
We help organisations understand their responsibilities around domestic violence, sexual harassment, bullying and discrimination. Through tailored training, workshops and awareness programs, we equip leaders and employees with the skills to recognise, prevent and respond to these difficult topics.
- Enable – Providing practical tools
Awareness alone isn’t enough—businesses need clear policies, structured support systems and strong leadership commitment to create lasting change. We develop DFV, sexual harassment and bullying prevention policies, internal communication strategies and employee support services to ensure workplaces are prepared to act.
- Empower – Creating lasting workplace culture change
Sustainable change happens when safety and respect are embedded in workplace culture. We partner with organisations to implement trauma-informed workplace strategies, tailored support programs and ongoing education to create environments where employees feel safe, valued and supported. Our Verdella DFV Recovery Program ensures that employees affected by domestic and family violence receive structured and effective, long-term assistance.
Customised solutions for every workplace
Every organisation is different, which is why we tailor our approach to fit your industry, workforce and specific challenges.
Let’s move beyond awareness—together, we can build a workplace where safety, respect and accountability drive success.

Our Services

EDUCATE
We implement workable programs that are built on research and drawn from knowledge of psychologists, DFV and sexual harassment experts, human resources and communications professionals to ensure people are equipped with the knowledge to identify victims of DFV or sexual harassment. So they can confidently initiate appropriate conversations and effectively support others who may be experiencing DFV or sexual harassment.

ENABLE
We provide the tools, information and resources to enable the workplace and community to become a safe haven for people who are impacted by DFV and sexual harassment.

EMPOWER

The workplace’s role in addressing DFV and Sexual Harassment
Workplaces play a key role in taking a stand against domestic and family violence (DFV), as 60% of women experiencing violence are part of the Australian workforce and 1 in 3 women have experienced sexual harassment.
The workplace can be a safe haven, a place for purpose, friendship, support and financial independence.
That’s where you come in.
Our commitment to you
We educate organisations about DFV and sexual harassment prevention and guide them to deliver meaningful and effective activities. We provide specialist support and coaching to walk with victims as they become survivors.
We take an action-orientated approach and our philosophy is to enable, educate and empower workplaces across Australia through a range of workplace and community initiatives to create a culture of connection harmony, safety and empowerment. Everything we do is measured against the positive outcomes we achieve.
Our objective is simple. To significantly reduce the incidence and impact of domestic and family violence and contribute to a world where everyone experiences safety and harmony at home, communities are connected and workplaces offer support and understanding

Our values

Lift everyone up
Bringing workplaces together to address difficult conversations affecting our communities.

Lean in
Domestic and family violence is complex. Our approach helps workplaces walk with people in a way that is meaningful to them.

The power of connection
Everyone can play a part. WorkHaven connects communities to address domestic and family violence through education, awareness, and action.

Walk the talk
Tokenism doesn’t turn the dial. Everything we do leads to positive, meaningful change and tangible outcomes.
The WorkHaven “why?”
A destroyed marriage, a decimated career and shredded confidence. And a damaged childhood that left a legacy for decades. These are the stories of our founders, and they explain why we are committed to WorkHaven and our clients’ success in effectively addressing domestic and family violence, sexual harassment and any other violence or aggression in the workplace.
We built WorkHaven as a beacon for change, using our insights from struggle and our corporate experience. The journey to establish our business wasn’t straightforward. Domestic and family violence is complex, shrouded in stigma and people often don’t know what to do. The law in Australia prohibits sexual harassment in connection with work.
But things are changing and now we see the ripples of progress, empowerment and hope in the organisations and communities in which we work.
And we are committed to collectively create a movement to reduce the incidence and impact of domestic and family violence or sexual harassment for our workmates, our neighbours, our loved ones, and the generations to come. Together we can do this.
