Sexual harassment awareness for employees - Essentials (AU)

Duration: 23 minutes

Overview: This is an 'Essentials' course reviewing how to identify, respond to and report sexual harassment and sex-based harassment in the workplace, in line with Australian legislation including the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth) and the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth). You'll review how to recognise unwelcome and unlawful conduct, understand your rights and protections, and know what steps to take if you experience or witness sexual harassment or sex-based harassment.

Why is this course important? Sexual harassment and sex-based harassment remain serious and prevalent problems in Australian workplaces, and understanding your rights helps you recognise unacceptable behaviour and know how to respond. Taking action, rather than staying silent, is what stops this behaviour from being seen as acceptable.

Suitable for: All employees and workers who need an efficient refresher to their rights and responsibilities on sexual harassment under Australian law. Managers and supervisors should instead complete 'Sexual harassment awareness for managers - Essentials (AU)'.

This Essentials topic assumes learners have already completed previous training on this subject (and is designed as a periodic refresher).

Note: Managers and supervisors should complete Sexual harassment awareness for managers - Essentials (AU).
