The Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission’s new, updated sexual harassment guideline provides six minimum standards that employers must meet to comply with their positive duty to eliminate sexual harassment.

Guideline: Preventing and responding to workplace sexual harassment provides essential information and recommendations for small, medium and large organisations. It will apply to diverse workplace settings and across a range of sectors and industries.

The guideline has been informed by wide consultation with employers and industry bodies, worker advocacy groups and other regulators. It has also been informed by the stories of individuals who have experienced sexual harassment.

As the authoritative and comprehensive resource on Victoria’s positive duty for employers and workplace sexual harassment, this guideline may be considered in judicial proceedings when deciding whether employers have complied with the law.
