Bullying and Harassment Fair Work Changes

The Federal Fair Work Act 2009 has been amended (Fair Work Amendment Bill 2013) to include Workers bullied at work. From 1 January 2014, workers who reasonably believe they have been bullied at work will be able to apply to the Fair Work Commissioner for relief from repeated, unreasonable behaviour that creates a risk to health and safety.

This is in reply to the “Workplace Bullying, We just want it to stop” report tabled in Federal parliament in October 2012. A worker is bullied if an individual or group of individuals repeatedly behave unreasonably towards a worker and that behaviour creates a health and safety risk.

The Officers and Managers of your business need to be aware of these changes and how they may affect your business.

Who should attend
