About us
Creating safer workplaces, building stronger businesses
At WorkHaven, we believe that every organisation has the power and the responsibility to foster workplace awareness, understanding, safety and wellbeing.
We help businesses create environments where every employee feels safe, respected and supported by providing practical policies, training and support services to address domestic and family violence (DFV), sexual harassment and workplace bullying and discrimination.
Our approach reduces workplace risks, strengthens organisational culture and ensures compliance with legal and employer responsibilities.
Our story
WorkHaven was founded by leaders with lived experience of domestic and family violence (DFV) who understand how deeply these issues can affect both employees and businesses.
What began as a personal mission has grown into a national movement, partnering with organisations across industries to provide meaningful domestic violence workplace support, sexual harassment workplace support and comprehensive employee support services.
We’ve helped over 100,000 employees build safer, more connected workplaces by providing practical solutions that go beyond compliance. Our work is grounded in empathy, real-world experience and a commitment to creating psychosocially safe workplaces that foster genuine connection, respect and accountability.
Our approach: Educate, enable, empower
We believe that real change happens through action, not awareness alone. Our methodology focuses on three pillars:
Educate – We help businesses understand their responsibilities and obligations in relation to domestic and family violence, sexual harassment bullying and harassment. Through tailored training, workshops and leadership programs, we equip organisations with the skills and resources to recognise, prevent and respond to workplace harm.
Enable – We help organisations develop clear, actionable policies and procedures on DFV, sexual harassment, discrimination and workplace bullying. Our internal communication strategies and leadership resources equip organisations with the tools they need to offer effective employee support services and act quickly when issues arise.
Empower – We help businesses create sustainable, connected and understanding workplaces where safety and respect are embedded in the organisational culture. Our tailored initiatives, including the Verdella DFV Recovery Program, provide long-term support for victims of domestic violence and foster ongoing cultural change across all levels of the organisation.
Why WorkHaven?
Proven expertise – We’ve worked with organisations across government, corporate and community sectors to deliver impactful solutions that reduce risk and drive cultural change.
Tailored solutions – Every business is unique. We design bespoke strategies that address your specific needs, from workplace domestic violence awareness to preventing sexual harassment and tackling workplace bullying and harassment.
Compliance and beyond – We help businesses meet their legal responsibilities around domestic violence and sexual harassment, while fostering a culture that values respect, inclusion and safety.
Real results – Our programs help reduce absenteeism, improve retention and boost morale by creating workplaces where employees feel safe, supported and empowered to succeed.
Testimonials
I had the absolute pleasure of working with WorkHaven to assist us in developing and delivering our domestic and family violence framework. Nothing was too much, they catered for all of our requests and timeframes.
The training was excellent and staff and leaders were very engaged and educated in an informal and interactive space. I look forward to continuing our relationship with WorkHaven.
