What is workplace sexual harassment?
Workplace sexual harassment is any unwelcome, unwarranted and uninvited conduct or behaviour of a sexual nature by an individual at work. It can happen at your place of work, or outside the office at work-related activities such as company functions, corporate events, team-building exercises or out-of-town business trips. The harassers can be managers, work colleagues, clients, suppliers, volunteers or industry peers. Sexual harassment can be a single event or take place repeatedly over time. Harassment can be verbal, visual, or physical. Both men and women can commit sexual harassment and be sexually harassed.
Support for respondents
Referrals to AWARE’s Sexual Assault Care Centre (SACC) and Workplace Harassment and Discrimination Advisory (WHDA) can be made before or after the interview. Emotional support is available, upon request, during the interview. Participation in the research is NOT a requirement in receiving referrals for help.
Confidential and anonymous
This research will be confidential. Information such as your identity, your workplaces and others involved will be anonymised. We will not contact your workplace or other people involved.
