Statement of Commitment

Your Marketing Machines (YMM) is committed to supporting the safety, wellbeing, dignity, and rights of all employees, contractors, clients, and stakeholders.

We do not tolerate domestic or family violence in any form and recognise its serious impacts on individuals, families, workplaces, and communities.

This policy applies to any employee, contractor, client, or stakeholder who is:

• experiencing domestic or family violence;
  
• impacted by domestic or family violence; and/or

This policy is supportive in nature and does not replace legal, medical, or emergency services.

Understanding Domestic and Family Violence

Domestic and family violence can occur in all communities and may involve:

• physical, emotional, psychological, financial, or sexual abuse;
  
• controlling or coercive behaviour; and/or
  
• violence by a partner, former partner, family member, carer, or household member.
  

We recognise that people experiencing violence are not responsible for the abuse and that leaving or managing such situations is complex.

Support and Confidentiality

YMM is committed to providing a supportive and confidential environment.

• Information will be handled sensitively and shared only where necessary to protect safety or where required by law.
  
• Individuals may choose how and when they seek support.
  
• A trusted third party may contact us on someone’s behalf if preferred.
  

Workplace Safety and Support

Where appropriate and in consultation with the individual, YMM may consider reasonable workplace support measures to help maintain safety and wellbeing.

This may include flexible arrangements or referrals to external support services.  If there is an immediate risk to safety:

• emergency services should be contacted; and
  
• workplace safety concerns should be escalated promptly
