This month (11 – 17 August) is National Bullying Prevention Week - our week of action to stop bullying.

This year’s theme is Act On It! We're calling on all Australians to step up and take safe, confident action when bullying happens - in the moment. Because ending bullying starts with action.
We’re shining a spotlight on courage - transforming bystanders into upstanders.
Or, as we call them, Actionists.

Hear from our CEO, Janet Grima, as she unveils this year’s campaign theme.

Our latest research reveals seven in ten (71%) Australians have experienced bullying - and nearly one in three (31%) have been bullied in the past year. Alarmingly, 27% of Australians say it’s occurred in the workplace.Â
Among working Australians:
-
23%Â are unaware of any bullying prevention policy at their workplace
-
25% say policies exist but aren’t enforced
-
Only 42% report working somewhere that actively enforces a bullying policy
You can be an Actionist by simply raising this with your workplace and becoming a catalyst for change.
Explore the options below and take the next step towards creating a workplace where everyone feels safe, valued, and respected.
