Better practice in responding to family violence
Published 06 August 2019Principles of better practice
We have assembled these principles to highlight the cultural and behaviour changes that contribute to effective and safe family violence responses for customers and staff.
Unlike the family violence obligations in our codes, these principles and actions of better practice are non-binding on our regulated water and energy businesses. When considering its overall approach to family violence, each organisation will make its own decision on how to align these principles with its other policies, procedures and practices.
