Episode 140 | Paid domestic violence leave

In this segment, we discuss the recent decision by the Fair Work Commission to allow 10 paid days of Family Domestic Violence Leave, a decision made in principle at this stage but nonetheless a historic step moving forward for employees and employers. In this country unfortunately domestic violence is an issue, and with this recent decision earmarks the start of a new era of employers extending their duties for providing safety in the workplace, to now provide paid domestic violence leave. Of course, this decision made in principle must be endorsed by the Federal Government and with a new government in play, let's see how long it will take for this to occur so that this form of paid leave is included in the national standards awards. For now, employers should already be starting to review their existing policies and procedures to be ready for when it is formally in place.

The show was designed to give back to the community which Despina did in droves. Her weekly radio show was broadcast on the Gold Coast each Thursday on 104.1FM Gold Coast/Tweed & 103.5FM Northern Rivers and had a substantial following since 2020. Despina talked about various hot topics at local, state and federal level, and answered the questions that ordinary Australians want to hear. And the best part, it was free.

In 2024, due to programming changes within the radio station itself, Despina then moved her radio show to being solely online on her Youtube channel: Despina Priala

Each week she brings another insightful episode of Talking Law for her loyal listeners and the greater Australian community.

Knowledge is power and Talking Law is very much about empowering the ordinary Australian with information that they should be aware of to help them in every day life.

All episodes of Talking Law with Despina are uploaded on the Priala Legal website and onto our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWmG7z-wIbsHY9KhFfrrWwQ
