partners
We partner with a diverse range of forward-thinking organisations that are committed to driving positive social impact.
New Zealand Defence Force
Our partnership with NZDF began through Operation Respect—a comprehensive transformation strategy to eliminate unacceptable and unwanted behaviours across the Defence Force. The programme’s core objectives are to care for NZDF personnel and increase the recruitment and retention of military women.
To date, we’ve delivered our Train-the-Trainer and Consulting Services to support these goals and embed meaningful, long-term change.​​

RespectEd Aotearoa has been an invaluable partner in supporting the New Zealand Defence Force with the development of a family violence and harmful sexual behaviour training package for our healthcare workforce.
The NZDF is a complex organisation, managing military and civilian workforces in domestic and deployed environments. RespectEd Aotearoa adapted to the unique organisational environment, delivering a programme which was evidence-based, practical, and appropriately tailored to meet our operational needs.
We have thoroughly enjoyed working with them on this programme, appreciating their expertise and dedication to this work.
Wellington City Council & hospitality NZ
We’ve partnered with Wellington City Council and Hospitality New Zealand to deliver the Safer Venues project, enhancing the safety of Wellington’s nightlife through targeted training and sector-wide support.​
Our bespoke workshops for hospitality draw on our Bystander Intervention programme, equipping hospitality staff with the tools to prevent harm and create safer spaces. Curious which bars are part of Safer Venues?
LT McGuinness
Following the launch of LT McGuinness' Respect and Respected policy, we partnered with their HR team to bring this commitment to life—embedding respectful behaviours, preventing harm, and empowering leaders and staff across the organisation.
Our work included the delivery of our Healthy Workplace Culture and Dealing with Disclosures programmes, tailored to support a safer, more inclusive workplace.

Working with RespectEd Aotearoa has been a great experience for LT McGuinness Construction. Their workshops provided our team with the tools and understanding needed to bring our ‘Respect and Respected’ policy to life.
The sessions were engaging, insightful, and practical, helping us create a workplace culture where respect is at the core of everything we do. The team at RespectEd Aotearoa was knowledgeable, professional, and supportive throughout the process. They were also more than happy to tailor the workshops to our specific needs.
We highly recommend their expertise to any organisation looking to foster an inclusive and respectful workplace.
