Workplace prevention of sexual harassment training and resources
Sexual harassment remains pervasive and underreported in Australian workplaces, causing significant harm to individuals and organisations. Certain workplace environments—particularly those that are high-risk or lack appropriate policies, training, and leadership—can increase the likelihood of harassment occurring.
Working Women’s Centre Victoria delivers tailored workplace training and practical resources to support employers to build safe, respectful, and legally compliant workplaces. Our training is specifically designed to help employers meet their obligations under the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth), the Equal Opportunity Act 2010 (Vic), and expanded Occupational Health and Safety duties and move beyond minimum compliance to drive lasting cultural change.
