The Stop! Bullying and harassment training program was launched to Heads of Agency and senior executives on 19 July 2006.

The program was developed as a result of a partnership between the Government and Public Sector Unions.

Bullying and harassment is recognised as one of the major contributors to workplace stress. It has a detrimental effect on both individuals and organisations, creating for an unhappy and ineffective working environment.

Employers have a responsibility to provide a workplace free from these behaviours. Managers and supervisors, or workplace union delegates, have a key role to play in preventing and dealing with workplace bullying.

The program provides ideas and strategies for preventing bullying and harassment, together with the confidence to deal effectively with issues, should they arise.
