Did you know?
- 1 in 3 people have experienced sexual harassment, sex-based harassment, and experienced a hostile workplace on the grounds of sex.
- Sexual harassment in the workplace can occur in every industry, across all states and territories, and for every size of business.
- Recent changes to the Sex Discrimination and Fair Work (Respect at Work) Amendment Act 2021 further demonstrate the importance of respect at work.
Why is respect at work training important?
Under the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth), you have a positive duty to eliminate, as far as possible, the following unlawful behaviour:
- sexual harassment in the workplace.
- sex-based harassment in the workplace.
- conduct that contributes to a hostile workplace on the grounds of sex.
- discrimination on the grounds of sex.
- related acts of victimisation on the grounds of sex.
It is everyone’s responsibility to do the right thing when it comes to sexual harassment prevention and respect in the workplace. First, meeting our respect at work education and training obligations is legally required. Second, everybody has the right to be treated fairly and respectfully.
