The Fairness and Resolution Branch has recently established Fairness and Resolution Centres in each State/Territory to provide advice and assistance to all Defence employees on the management and resolution of workplace conflict, unacceptable behaviour and other complaints within Defence.
The Fairness and Resolution (FR) Centres are part of the Directorate of Alternative Resolutions and Equity (ARE) in Canberra. Apart from managing the FR Centres, ARE also:
- manages the Alternative Dispute Resolution program across Defence,
- coordinates the provision of Alternative Dispute Resolution interventions within Defence,
- development of training in equity and conflict management, and
- manages the Defence Equity Network
The FR Centre staff provide:
- advice to commanders, managers and all personnel on the management of unacceptable behaviour complaints and workplace conflict;
- training in equity and conflict management, and workplace relationships; and
- Alternative Dispute Resolution interventions such as Problem Definition, Conflict Coaching, Mediation and Workplace Conferencing.
FR Centres are located in Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Darwin and Perth. The Centres are staffed by a Dispute Resolution Practitioner (DRP) and the Defence Equity Coordinator (DEC).
