(1) Has a survey recently been conducted of the ACT Public Service on the issue of bullying and harassment in the workplace; if so, when and what were the results; if not, why not and would the Government consider such a survey across the ACT Public Service;
(2) Given that a survey of the Victorian Public Service found 21% of employees had personally experienced harassment or bullying in the 12 months prior to the survey, is the ACT Government concerned about any similar trends in the ACT Public Service.
Mr Stanhope: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) No. The ACT Government is currently considering undertaking a whole-of-government employee survey, which may contain questions relating to bullying and harassment.
(2) The ACT Government is committed to providing workplaces free from harassment and bullying. The code of conduct for employees at section 9 of the Public Sector Management Act 1994 requires Government employees to treat other employees with courtesy and not harass other employees.
