Employers

The Australian Human Rights Commission, Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Australian Council of Trade Unions are working together to create safe and equal workplaces in Australia.

Sexual harassment can have a serious and damaging effect on a workplace. It can result in productivity losses, reputational damage, increases in sick and stress leave, more workplace health complaints and requests for compensation, higher levels of team conflict, and decreases in staff retention.

Our Know Where the Line Is strategy has been developed to support employers to take action on workplace sexual harassment because preventing sexual harassment is good for business.

This resource aims to assist small, medium and large employers to understand and meet their legal obligations under the Sex Discrimination Act. It also provides practical guidance on how employers can prevent sexual harassment and how to respond effectively when it occurs.  In addition, the resource discusses recent legal developments concerning workplace sexual harassment and canvasses some of the new and innovative approaches to addressing sexual harassment in the workplace, including enlisting the help of bystanders.
