You may have heard recent media reports about sexual
harassment in Australian hospitals, including a case at Monash Health in 2006.
Monash University is committed to providing an environment free from
discrimination, harassment and vilification for all staff and students.
Harassment is unwelcome conduct that might reasonably cause
a person to be offended, humiliated or intimidated. Harassment which is
offensive conduct based on a person’s disability, race or of a sexual nature
are forms of discrimination.
Students and staff are encouraged to
ask for help if you:
- feel attacked, harassed, intimidated, stalked, bullied
or threatened
- have concerns about someone else's behaviour or
wellbeing
- have received unwanted attention
- are worried about someone harming themselves or someone
else
- wish to clarify issues of responsibility,
confidentiality or duty of care.
The University’s Safer Community Unit is a central point of
enquiry for confidential information, advice and support in managing
inappropriate, concerning or threatening behaviours. Safer Community staff will
provide leadership and support in all stages of responding to complex and sensitive
situations.
Contact details: Phone: +61 3 990
51599 or safercommunity@monash.edu
If appropriate, staff and students are
also encouraged to approach their line manager or supervisor.
The University’s Employee Assistance
Program (EAP), a professional counselling service available to all employees
and their immediate family members, offers confidential, short-term support for
a variety of work-related and personal problems that may be affecting you at
work or at home.
EAP: Call 1800 350 359 or read here for more information.
