Sexual Harassment

The Federal Sex Discrimination Act 1984 makes it unlawful to sexually harass another person in any circumstances. The most common include:

• At work – by an employer or another employee.
• In education – by a staff member or student (16 years and over).
• In providing goods and services – by a person who provides those goods and services, such as a shopkeeper or tradesperson.
• In accommodation and housing – by a person who provides these services or is involved in these transactions, such as a landlord or real estate agent.
• In the administration of Commonwealth laws and programs – by a person employed to provide this program.

In many cases employers can be held legally responsible for sexual harassment by employees, if it occurs in connection with their work.
