General information

This information is a guide for employees in Victoria that gives general information only about sexual harassment reporting options and processes within VEOHRC and WorkSafe.

It doesn’t provide information about reporting options that might exist within your own workplace, which you may want to consider first. Your workplace may have Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs). HSRs are there to support employees when reporting hazards in the workplace.

Accessing VEOHRC or WorkSafe:

  • All services through VEOHRC or WorkSafe are free to access.
  • During a call or meeting with us, both VEOHRC and WorkSafe can arrange a free interpreter, including Auslan interpreters.
  • You can access services from either or both VEOHRC and WorkSafe depending on your needs.
