Our education services

      Our education services empower people and organisations to understand their rights and responsibilities under Queensland's human rights and anti-discrimination laws.

      We provide education services to build knowledge, develop skills and capabilities, and foster a culture of human rights and respect.

      We deliver education services on a range of topics for individuals and organisations, including:

      • Queensland’s Human Rights Act
      • Queensland’s Anti-Discrimination Act
      • sexual harassment
      • diversity, inclusion and belonging
      • Contact Officer training and refreshers
      • gender identity in the workplace.

      Benefits

      Our education services help you to:

      • promote a culture of human rights and respect to foster a fair and productive workplace
      • stay up to date with current legislation and workplace policies
      • consider how to make the law real in your workplace through applied scenarios and activities
      • understand options to respond to incidents of discrimination, sexual harassment, victimisation and vilification, including the role of allies and active bystanders
      • build knowledge of intersectional impacts of harmful behaviours in the workplace, and the importance of trauma-informed, person-centric responses
      • give proper consideration to human rights in decision making
      • take action to demonstrate compliance with Queensland human rights laws.

      Our approach

      Creating a culture of respect for human rights requires commitment at all levels. That is why we tailor our training to meet the unique needs of individuals, organisations and communities.

      Our training is designed to:

      • raise awareness—build knowledge of rights, responsibilities, and where to find more information.
      • develop skills and capabilities—equip participants to identify opportunities and risks, to act compatibly with human rights and prevent discrimination through practical, relevant steps.
      • foster cultural change—embed human rights and respect into the vision, values and practices of organisations and communities.

      We take a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach, centring the needs of the people and organisation, leveraging the lived experience, skills and capabilities within your organisation.

      We are committed to delivering high-quality education. Every session is reviewed and evaluated to ensure continuous improvement. Upon request, we can provide a de-identified summary of participant feedback.

      Our educators are available to debrief and discuss further education needs to continue to build skills and capabilities through incremental, tailored learning.

      Public workshops

      Public workshops are on a scheduled basis. We set our public session training calendar every 6 months.

For organisations where affordability may be of concern, we can offer reduced fees, and in some cases fee waiver, depending on self-assessment of eligibility.
