Protect your business. Comply with the law. Empower your team.
Since 2021, business owners in Australia have had a legal duty to prevent workplace sexual harassment.
Doing nothing is now considered a breach of law — and it could cost you everything. The Act applies to all employers and businesses, regardless of size.
Employers are now legally obligated to take proactive and reasonable steps to prevent and eliminate sexual harassment, sex discrimination, and victimisation in the workplace.
Respect@Work Employee Training
If you haven’t trained your staff under the updated Respect@Work laws, your business could be exposed.
Ignorance is no longer a defence.
Respect@Work Compliance Training
Protect your team. Comply with the law. Reduce your legal risk.
What Your Team will learn:
What constitutes sexual harassment and sex-based harassment
What’s legally expected of employees and managers
Real-world scenarios and workplace expectations
How to respond, report, and act responsibly
Why This Matters
You’re now legally required to prevent sexual harassment — not just respond to it
Harassment includes any unwelcome conduct based on sex, even one-off comments
You can be held responsible for what your employees, clients, or contractors do
Doing nothing can now result in penalties, claims, and loss of reputation
Sexual harassment is a valid reason for dismissal under the Fair Work Act
The Fair Work Commission can issue binding orders against your business
Complaints can be made up to 24 months after the incident
It doesn’t matter if you were unaware — you’re expected to act proactively
You must prove you took reasonable steps (like training)
You’ll need to demonstrate employee awareness in the event of legal action
Course Features
Online micro-credential
Complete in under 1 hour
Access on any device, anytime
Self-assessment quizzes (unlimited retries)
Clear, practical training — not legal jargon
Includes realistic scenarios for clarity
Unique login + proof of completion for every participant
🛡️ Employer Protection
This course provides your business with a record of reasonable action — essential for risk mitigation.
It’s your best line of defence if complaints arise.
Investment
Protect your people. Insulate your business.
$129 per employee. Fast, flexible, and legally aligned.
DOWNLOAD LEGISLATION - Disclaimer
This course is designed to increase awareness of the Respect@Work legislation. It does not provide legal advice. Employers remain responsible for seeking their own legal guidance in accordance with Australian law.

Great question. Tools like ChatGPT give you generic responses based on limited input. A custom GPT, on the other hand, is trained with detailed context about your business—your voice, your goals, your audience. So instead of rewriting robotic responses, you get content that sounds like you, every time.
-
Not at all. I handle the technical setup for you. You just need to know your business—which you already do. I’ll guide you through a simple, collaborative process to feed the GPT the right information. You’ll end up with a tool that speaks your language and works on your terms.
-
It becomes your digital frontline. This AI isn’t guessing—it’s trained on your specific services, pricing, turnaround times, delivery details, policies, and brand tone. That means when a customer asks, “Do you ship internationally?” or “What’s the difference between your packages?”—they get a clear, accurate, on-brand answer immediately. No waiting. No email backlog.
-
Item descriptionThink of it as the first line, not a full replacement. It handles the repeatable, frequently asked questions—everything from “What are your opening hours?” to “How do I book a consultation?” That frees up your human staff to deal with complex, high-value enquiries and sales. It's like having a well-trained team member who never sleeps, never gets tired, and always says the right thing.
-
Customers today expect fast, clear answers. If they don’t find what they’re looking for, they move on. A custom GPT makes sure they get consistent, helpful responses anytime—day or night. This builds trust and confidence before they ever pick up the phone. So when they do reach out, they’re already informed and ready to take action.
-
Item descriptionAnything you want it to. You can train it to respond to:
Product or service descriptions
Pricing, inclusions, and comparisons
Shipping, returns, and policy queries
Troubleshooting and how-to guidance
Pre-sales advice, FAQs, and even brand story questions
If it’s in your inbox or DMs a hundred times a month, your GPT can take it off your plate.
-
Not at all. It’s built to reflect your voice and personality—whether that’s professional and polished, friendly and casual, or somewhere in between. I work with you to set the tone, language, and even phrases you want it to use (or avoid). The result feels personal, not robotic.
AI that understands your business—right from the start.
