Examples of relevant guidelines produced by the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission include:

  • The Sexual Harassment Code of Practice which provides guidelines to employers on policies and procedures to eliminate and prevent sexual harassment in the workplace.
  • Sexual Harassment and Educational Institutions: A Guide to Federal Sex Discrimination Act  which summarises the position of educational institutions under the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 and provides case studies and advice for students and employees of educational institutions on their rights under the Act.

The Public Service has produced Advice circulars which include information on issues such as workplace harassment (Advice No. 21), Discrimination in APS Employment (Advice No. 22) and Workplace Diversity Programs (Circular 1998/15).
