ACT public service—workplace behaviour resources

Ms Orr (in reply to a question and a supplementary question by Miss C Burch on Wednesday, 23 October 2019):

The Government has refreshed its approach to misconduct related matters in the ACT Public Sector and in 2016 introduced the Public Sector Standards Commissioner (‘PSSC’). This Office ensures that allegations of misconduct concerning public servants are independently investigated.

The processes governing how investigations are conducted are contained in the ACTPS enterprise agreements.

As a result of new enterprise agreements, these documents have been reviewed and refined progressively, commencing with a new comprehensive guide to cover misconduct which was uploaded to the PSSC website in October 2019. The original suite of documents has also been updated, reviewed and uploaded to the employment portal.

This document suite is not the only source of information and support on bullying and harassment in the ACTPS. There are many ways managers and employees can receive help where required, including EAP, manager and staff training, directorate HR teams and the RED Framework which has substantial resources available through a Service-Wide support network.
