No matter what size your business is, all employers are required to create a workplace that is free from discrimination and harassment.

These responsibilities are set out in a range of Commonwealth and state and territory anti-discrimination laws - the goal being to protect people from unlawful behaviour.

The potential for harassment to occur can be increased in the context of close working relationships where employees are on familiar terms with each another.

That's why it's important that small business employers can put in place proper precautions.
