Sexual Harassment at Work

Law Tram’s Workplace Sexual Harassment Consultation simplifies the process by connecting you with licensed Australian lawyers who can offer tailored legal advice specific to your situation. This free, fully online, and obligation-free service ensures you receive expert guidance every step of the way.

Been Harassed at Work? You Have the Right to Speak Up

Sexual harassment at work is never acceptable. It includes unwelcome sexual comments, advances, jokes, touching or behaviour that creates a hostile or uncomfortable work environment. Whether it comes from a co-worker, manager, client or someone else, the law protects you.

Under Australian law, employers are required to take active steps to prevent sexual harassment and protect employees from harm. You may be entitled to compensation, an apology, or other remedies even if the harassment wasn’t physical.

Law Tram connects you with lawyers who can explain your rights, help you report harassment safely, and support you if you choose to take legal action.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as sexual harassment at work?

Any unwelcome sexual advance, comment or behaviour that makes you feel uncomfortable, humiliated or intimidated.

What if the harassment happened outside of work hours?

If it occurred in a work-related context (such as at a work function or via work communication channels), it may still be unlawful.

Can I remain anonymous when making a complaint?

In some cases, yes. A lawyer can advise on your options for maintaining privacy while still protecting your rights.

Do I need to report it to my employer first?

Not always, but it's often a required step unless it's unsafe to do so. Legal advice helps you decide the safest path.

What outcomes can I get from a legal claim?

Possible outcomes include compensation, formal apologies, changes to workplace policies, or even public statements of responsibility.
