Dear Presiding Officers
In accordance with section 16(3) of the Audit Act 1994, a copy of this report, or part of this report, was provided to the Department of Health & Human Services, Ambulance Victoria, WorkSafe, the Victorian Public Sector Commission and the Department of Premier & Cabinet.
The submissions and comments provided are not subject to audit nor the evidentiary standards required to reach an audit conclusion. Responsibility for the accuracy, fairness and balance of those comments rests solely with the agency head.
A systemic response may be more effective when inappropriate workplace behaviour presents as a persistent risk across the health sector.
WorkSafe, the occupational health and safety regulator emphasises two key controls for effectively responding to inappropriate behaviour including bullying and harassment—early intervention, which involves self-managing inappropriate behaviour or seeking line management support to resolve issues, and robust formal complaints processes.
Under occupational health and safety legislation, employers are obliged to eliminate or minimise so far as is reasonably practicable risks to the health and safety of their employees. The risk of workplace bullying and harassment can be eliminated or minimised with a range of controls.
