SPECIAL TRAINING FOR HOSPITALITY STAFF
THE NSW Government has mandated specialised sexual harassment and violence prevention training for all NSW hospitality staff and liquor licence holders, integrated into the Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) program. Developed with Good Night Out, the training teaches staff to identify, respond to, and prevent harassment, assault, and drink spiking, while connecting patrons to support services. Updated licensee training includes obligations under Respect@Work legislation. These reforms aim to improve workplace and patron safety, supporting a safer and more inclusive night-time economy.

FACTORS THAT MAKE TEACHERS FEEL BELONGING
MONASH University research highlights 41 factors that foster ‘teacher belonging’ to address Australia’s teacher retention crisis, with half of new teachers leaving within five years. Key drivers include supportive relationships, respectful leadership, social connection, validation of challenges like imposter syndrome, and opportunities to contribute ideas. Academic factors like clear roles and induction also help. Strengthening teacher belonging not only retains early career teachers but also improves student engagement and outcomes by creating a positive and supportive learning environment.
