“We all play a part in developing a positive and supportive workplace culture says Vice-Chancellor, Professor S Bruce Dowton, who has endorsed the program. “If you have been affected, or you have witnessed unacceptable behaviours against others, we have clear processes in place for prevention, response and support and we encourage you to access these.”

Why is this module mandatory?

At Macquarie, we do not tolerate acts of bullying, discrimination or harassment of any kind. As an institution that values diversity, inclusion and collaboration, we are committed to preventing these behaviours and fostering a culture of safety and respect for all members of our community. Our policies and codes clearly articulate our expectations around acceptable and unacceptable behaviours, and the consequences for those who fail to uphold these expectations.

This training helps staff know their rights and responsibilities as employees, challenge attitudes and practices that may lead to harmful conduct, and respond to incidents of inappropriate behaviour.

It’s important that as a staff community we support open communication where calling out unacceptable behaviours, and speaking up against bullying, discrimination and harassment is encouraged.

What is included in the module?

This module includes:

• ways you can prevent bullying, discrimination and harassment
• your legal obligations in relation to bullying, discrimination and harassment
• advice on what you can do if you see or experience any of these behaviours
• key definitions and examples of bullying, discrimination and harassment
• support and report channels

The module will need to be completed every two years. This training has been included in the onboarding program for new staff.
