Brisbane Healthcare Clinic
How a 15-employee healthcare clinic protected themselves from $29,037 in potential fines
About the Clinic
This 15-employee healthcare clinic in Brisbane provides medical services to over 1,000 patients each month. With a diverse staff and regular interaction with patients, the clinic needed to ensure they were fully compliant with Queensland's workplace sexual harassment regulations.
The Challenge
Prevention Plan Required
The clinic needed to implement a comprehensive sexual harassment prevention plan to meet Queensland's workplace safety requirements.
The clinic had basic workplace policies but lacked a formal prevention plan required by the new regulations. They needed to quickly:
- Create a compliant prevention plan
- Document worker consultation processes
- Establish a clear complaint handling procedure
- Implement the plan before their inspection
The Solution
The clinic used QldCompliance.com's Prevention Plan Builder to:
- Generate a customized prevention plan specific to the healthcare industry
- Document all required policies and procedures within 24 hours
- Implement a clear reporting structure for harassment concerns
- Create a simple review process to maintain compliance
The Results
Complete Compliance
The clinic successfully implemented a comprehensive prevention plan with zero compliance issues identified.
With their prevention plan in place, the clinic:
- Avoided potential fines of $29,037 (3 violations at $9,679 each)
- Created a safer environment for staff and patients
- Established a process for ongoing compliance monitoring
