Anti-Bullying and Anti-Harassment for Employees

Ensure your staff understand the harmful implications of bullying and harassment in the workplace and how to recognise and prevent this type of behaviour to create a respectful workplace for all

The short answer

Anti-Bullying and Anti-Harassment for Employees training is for employees only, and it exists because of Fair Work Act 2009. It runs online in about 35 to 40 minutes, or 20 to 30 minutes in the accelerated version. Run it off the shelf as it is, or have Hungry Minds rebuild it around your own policies and scenarios.

Two ways to run it

  • Your policies, your scenarios

    We rebuild “Anti-Bullying and Anti-Harassment for Employees” around how your organisation actually works, so the training changes behaviour instead of recording completions.

  • Ready to run as it is

    Deploy the course off the shelf, with light branding if you want it. Delivered with our partner Safetrac, who will contact you directly.

    Deploy off the shelf

Either way, you can run it through our compliance platform or take it as a SCORM package for the LMS you already have.

What it costs

Off-the-shelf pricing starts at $4,000 a year for up to ten courses with your logo and colours applied, rising with how much you want changed. The tiers are the same across the catalogue, so they are set out once on the pricing page rather than repeated on all 101 courses.

If what you actually need is your own scenarios and your own policies rather than a reskin, that is a custom build, and it is the work Hungry Minds does.

Choosing an LMS

If you don’t currently have an LMS, we can help you select a platform that suits your organisation.

For smaller teams or organisations getting started, we typically recommend LearnWorlds for its ease of use and quick setup.For organisations requiring more advanced functionality and reporting, TalentLMS is a strong option.

How long does the course take?

There are two versions. Structured learning takes about 35 to 40 minutes and suits people new to the topic. Accelerated learning takes 20 to 30 minutes for people who already know it and need a refresher.

What does the course cover?

What will people be able to do afterwards?

By the end, participants can understand what is meant by the terms bullying and harassment; understand how bullying and harassment occurs and its impact; understand how to respond to instances of alleged bullying or harassment; outline the resolution procedures available.

There is no universal interval. Most Australian organisations run compliance training annually, with a shorter refresher at induction and after any policy change. Your own risk assessment and any regulator guidance set the actual cadence. We cover how to decide this properly.
