Submission on the provisions of the Sex Discrimination and Fair Work (Respect at Work) Amendment Bill 2021

21 July 2021

This is the Business Council of Australia’s (BCA) submission on the provisions of the Sex Discrimination and Fair Work (Respect at Work) Amendment Bill 2021 (the Bill).

The BCA supports stronger measures to deal with the issue of sexual harassment in the workplace and broadly endorses all the measures in the Bill.

The introduction of the Bill represents only one component of the recommendations made by the Sex Discrimination Commissioner in the Report and the steps set out in the Government’s Roadmap, however it plays an important part in updating the legislation to make it fit for purpose.
