    Session 1: Building Safe RTOs – Foundations for Preventing Workplace Gendered Violence
    In this foundational session, participants will explore the key drivers of gender-based violence in the workplace and learn strategies to foster safer, more equitable environments. Through guided discussions and activities, participants will draw on their personal and professional experiences, creating a rich learning experience that connects theory to practice.

    Session 2: Taking Action – Implementing Systemic Change in Your RTO
    This session focuses on moving from learning to action. Participants will develop action plans to establish systems, structures, and governance processes that will sustain long-term change, ensuring their organisations are leaders in preventing workplace gendered violence.

    Why is this Important for Victorian VET?
