Training Practices which implement zero tolerance policies for bullying and harassment are happy places to work. Despite workplace bullying, harassment and discrimination being unacceptable and illegal, it occurs in all sectors of the Australian workforce, including general practice. The consequence of this behaviour can derail a victim’s professional and personal life, impact on their health, lead to legal action, and compromise patient safety. We all, cleaner through to practice principal, have a responsibility to adopt a zero tolerance approach to bullying and harassment.
