Everyone has the right to a workplace that is safe and free from sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is:

• an unwelcome sexual advance or request for sexual favours to the person being harassed
• other unwelcome sexual conduct towards the person being harassed. The FW Act prohibits sexual harassment connected to work, including in the workplace. This means workers, future workers and other people conducting a business or undertaking (such as selfemployed people or sole traders) are protected from sexual harassment in connection to work. Under the Sex Discrimination Act, organisations have a positive duty to eliminate, as far as possible, sexual harassment and other relevant unlawful conduct from occurring in the workplace or in connection with work.
