Why

Many Australian businesses – especially social enterprises – are built on the idea of creating a positive impact for people and communities. Yet, many still face challenges when it comes to understanding and applying human rights laws in business practice.

For this reason the development of an educational resource has been commissioned by Social Enterprise Australia as part of the Australian Government’s Social Enterprise Development Initiative (SEDI) to help build sector capability and grow social impact. We appreciate you being a part of this project.

This project will create an educational resource to help businesses:

  • Understand Australian human rights laws and obligations.
  • Apply these laws in everyday business (e.g. preventing discrimination, bullying, harassment, exploitation, and modern slavery).
  • Strengthen workplaces that respect safety, dignity and wellbeing.
  • Support the social enterprise movement’s commitment to people, place, and planet.

We want to hear from you

 

The first stage of this project is a survey.
 
Your feedback will directly shape the resource we are creating. By sharing your experiences, you’ll help us make sure the resource is practical, relevant, and useful for businesses across Australia.

Who’s involved?

This project is a collaboration between:

  • Impact Business School – A global learning institution equipping entrepreneurs and leaders.

  • Social Enterprise Australia – The national peak body for social enterprise. SEA advocates for and connects the sector to unlock the impact of social enterprise and has funded this project.
