This module allows students to develop their knowledge of employment relations, workplace rights and minimum standards. 

Students who complete this module will gain a practical understanding of Occupational Health & Safety procedures and how to keep safe at work. This session is not suitable for anyone under the age of 16 as it contains true real world examples of the dangers of an unsafe work place. 

This module gives students an understanding of what constitutes workplace bullying & discrimination. Students also gain practical tools for responding to these issues when they arise.

Students can learn about the history of our beautiful Victorian Trades Hall through a detailed tour of the building discussing the history of the union movement here in Victoria including the rights and workplace conditions fought for and won by the movement.

“Thanks again for speaking to our class this morning and for putting up with the technical difficulties! Your presentation was really valuable and gave us a lot to talk about. It is so important for our students to hear real stories from young workers who can talk from experience. You did a great job explaining the issues in a clear and relatable way – thank you.” 

“Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to talk to us VCAL students about the workplace. I greatly appreciated the knowledge and advice we received from you yesterday. I learnt a lot about workplace bullying and harassment as well as learning about what your payslip should look like and what's wrong and right when it comes down to how you should be paid. Once again I would like to thank you for the time and knowledge you left with me yesterday.”
