If there is bullying or conflict at your workplace, use the following four step process.  Remember support is always available eg talk to a friend, your doctor or an counseller, or an advocate.

Step 1

Talk to the person

• Tell the person/s what specific behaviours are affecting you and
• You want the person/s to stop

Step 2

Report it in writing

If the behaviours continue lodge a report with your employer

• Follow your employer’s procedure (if available)
• State the behaviours of concern
• State the effect on yourself including your health
• State what action you would prefer e.g. mediation, investigation

Step 3

Follow up after two weeks

If you have not received a response from your employer since submitting your report, ask them for an update 

Step 4

Research your external resolution options

Including:

• WA Police complaint – Report a  Crime
• Fair Work Commission - Anti-bullying
• WorkSafe WA – Unhealthy Workplace Behaviour Enquiry
• Equal Opportunity Commission
