The TFS-SES Review will explore people’s experiences of workplace culture, with a focus on diversity, inclusion, respect, and trust. It will also examine harmful behaviours, including bullying, sexual harassment, everyday sexism, racism, and other forms of discrimination and exclusion.

The TFS-SES Review will identify what is working well, areas for improvement, and actions the services can take to promote a safe, inclusive, and respectful workplace.

The Review will:

• Hear from staff and volunteers about their experiences with workplace behaviour, including bullying, sexual harassment, everyday sexism, racism, and other harmful behaviours.

• Experiences of positive culture and leadership, and what is working well.

• Learn about staff and volunteer experiences with the management of issues with workplace behaviour, including complaints and their outcomes.

• Hear about any barriers to improving workplace culture, and suggestions for reform.

• Examine existing policies and processes about workplace culture, and our complaints processes.

• Identify promising workplace practices for a healthy, safe and inclusive culture.

• Identify opportunities for strengthening polices, processes and approaches regarding workplace culture.

• Deliver a Report and Framework for Action to the State Fire Commission.
