Posts: sex-based harassment

The past five years have seen significant legislative reform in respect of workplace sexual harassment, typified by the implementation of the Respect@Work changes to the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 and the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth).

The Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth) protects employees from sexual harassment, and as part of the Respect@Work amendments now prohibits sex-based harassment.
