Who is covered by workplace bullying laws?

 

 

See Fair Work Act ss.789FC, 789FD(1) and 789FD(3)

A person will be covered by the anti-bullying laws, and therefore eligible to make an application, if they:

  • are a worker (as defined in the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Cth))[1]
  • are not a member of the Defence Force[2], and
  • experienced repeated, unreasonable behaviour whilst at work in a constitutionally-covered business.[3]
