These frequently asked questions (FAQs) have been developed to support employers participating in the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme to understand and respond appropriately to gender-based violence.

Employers play an important role in supporting the safety, wellbeing and welfare of PALM scheme workers. This document provides practical information on recognising, responding to and referring issues related to gender-based violence, while helping employers understand their responsibilities under the PALM scheme.

The FAQs are intended to support employers when gender-based violence may be affecting a worker, and should be used alongside existing PALM scheme guidance, workplace policies and referral pathways.
