Discrimination and Bullying

No one should feel unsafe or unwelcome at work. In Australia, Discrimination and Bullying are illegal under federal law and can create a hostile work environment. Discrimination refers to unfair treatment based on specific characteristics like race, gender, age, disability, religion, or sexual orientation. This could involve being passed over for promotions, receiving lower pay than colleagues, or even facing termination because of these factors. Bullying, on the other hand, is repeated, unreasonable behaviour that creates a risk to your health and safety. It can take various forms, from verbal abuse and intimidation to social exclusion or excessive workload. Whether you're an employee experiencing discrimination or bullying, or an employer unsure how to handle such situations, understanding your rights and responsibilities is crucial.
