Sexual Harassment Prevention and Management Policy

Our Sexual Harassment Prevention and Management Policy (PDF, 297.5KB) supports the principles and requirements of the Public Sector Commission Directive - Preventing and responding to workplace sexual harassment 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 employees to prevent, intervene early and respond to offensive behaviour
• minimising the impact of sexual harassment on employees 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.
