We all have a role in stopping sexual harassment and creating safe workplaces, and that's why we've ensured 1800RESPECT expands its service offering to provide psychological support and referrals to people affected by workplace sexual harassment. Importantly, this particular enhancement responds to recommendation 54 of the Respect@Work report. Our own government has agreed to or noted all 55 recommendations in the report, and our response is about creating a new culture of respectful behaviour in workplaces across the whole of Australia.

It's also our priority to ensure that 1800RESPECT provides high-quality and responsive support to people who need help and information, and it's important that this includes victims of workplace sexual harassment. I'd like to take the opportunity to encourage anybody who has been impacted, or knows someone who's been impacted, by sexual assault or family violence to call 1800RESPECT, on 1800737732, or go to our website.
