Sexual Harassment Prevention and Management Policy

Our Sexual Harassment Prevention and Management Policy (PDF, 300KB) supports the principles and requirements of the Public Sector Directive Preventing and responding to sexual harassment and related conduct at work and outlines the department’s zero tolerance approach to sexual harassment.

We acknowledge that it’s our duty to provide a safe, respectful and inclusive workplace free of sexual harassment and discrimination and we are committed to:

• educating and supporting all workers to prevent, intervene early and respond to offensive behaviour
• minimising the impact of sexual harassment on workers who experience or witness it and the effect on the workplace
• a person-centred approach when addressing allegations of sexual harassment
• ensuring leaders and managers listen to, respect, empower and support employees who report allegations of sexual harassment and act to resolve concerns.
