Lead the change: End workplace sexual harassment
Our Watch is calling on Australia’s businesses to lead the change and stop sexual harassment at work. Everyone deserves to be safe, supported and respected at work. This means that sexual harassment, disrespect, and discrimination have no place.
When you lead the change, you foster innovation and growth in your business. By creating a culture of safety and respect, you help protect your staff, your brand, and the wider community.
In Australia, one in four women has been sexually harassed at work in the past 12 months.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Every business has a responsibility and opportunity to prevent sexual harassment.
Watch this video to understand more about sexual harassment at work.
Workplaces have a positive duty to address the drivers of sexual harassment and violence.
Recent Respect@Work Amendments place a positive duty on employers to eliminate, as far as possible, workplace sexual harassment and discrimination, rather than responding after it occurs.
Watch this video to understand more about positive duty.
A 'primary prevention' approach means stopping violence and sexual harassment before it starts.
This requires us to take action in every part of our community, including workplaces.
