Access the mini-course - What can I do if I am sexually harassed at work?

In Australia, sexual harassment in the workplace is against the law. Your employer is legally responsible for ensuring that you have a safe working environment and for preventing workplace sexual harassment. 

Sexual harassment can cause psychological and physical harm and should not be ignored. If you are sexually harassed in the workplace, there are a number of options you can take to get support, seek advice or report the behaviour. 

This micro-module will increase your understanding of: 

  • where to get support
  • where to seek advice
  • where you can report harassment.
