1. Purpose and Scope

Agencia Change has zero tolerance for domestic and family violence. We recognise that DFV is a workplace issue that can impact the safety, wellbeing, and performance of teams. This statement applies to all Associates (independent entities and contractors) working under the Agencia Change brand.

​

2. Guiding Principle: Recognise, Respond, Refer

As a boutique consultancy, our infrastructure is designed to provide a supportive pathway to professional help. We focus on:

• Recognise: Encouraging our Associates to identify signs of DFV.

• Respond: Providing a non-judgmental, confidential space for disclosure.

• Refer: Connecting affected individuals with specialist 24/7 support services.

 

3. Discretion and Protection

As may be relevant, Agencia Change will ensure that documentation does not mention DFV to protect the safety of the individual.

​

4. Workplace Safety & Flexible Work

Where an Associate discloses they are experiencing DFV, Agencia Change will implement reasonable workplace adjustments within our capacity:

• Flexible Hours: Adjusting start/finish times to allow for legal or medical appointments.

• Digital Safety: Providing new email aliases or phone numbers if technology-facilitated abuse is identified.

• Environment: Facilitating 100% remote work or changing office locations if the Associate’s physical safety at a specific site is compromised.
