THE NSW Government will consult stakeholders on new measures to protect retail workers from violence, including proposed Workplace Protection Orders to ban offenders from stores. This builds on existing laws and a police-led retail crime strategy targeting repeat offenders. Since October 2025, hundreds have been charged and stolen goods recovered. The initiative is supported by industry collaboration and SafeWork NSW efforts to prevent workplace harassment and improve safety.
