What Is Workplace Bullying?
Under the Fair Work Act, workplace bullying generally involves repeated unreasonable
behaviour by an individual or group towards a worker that creates a risk to health and safety.
Examples may include:
• Repeated unreasonable conduct.
• Aggressive or intimidating behaviour.
• Unreasonable work demands.
• Exclusion from work-related activities.
• Repeated conduct that creates a risk to health and safety.
Not every workplace disagreement or management decision constitutes bullying. Reasonable management action carried out in a reasonable manner is not bullying under the Fair Work Act’s anti-bullying provisions.
