WorkSafe Mines Safety 24/7 reporting line

Workplaces covered by the Work Health and Safety (Mines) Regulations 2022 have a requirement to notify the regulator of reportable incidents, including sexual harassment. For more information see Notification of sexual harassment and/or assault to Mines Safety.

Sexual harassment complaints

Notifications can be made without including the names of the persons involved. If you are not sure if an incident is notifiable, you are encouraged to contact WorkSafe for advice. 

When a sexual assault complaint is lodged with WorkSafe Mines Safety, the investigation will focus on whether workplace duty holders (e.g. mine operators, PCBUs) have met their duties in terms of managing workplace risks that may affect the likelihood of workplace sexual assaults occurring.

Workers and other persons affected by workplace gendered violence can also report any incidents or concerns to WorkSafe. 

Phone: 1300 307 877 (during business hours) or 1800 678 198 (outside business hours – where urgent)
