Safe Work Australia is creating a national code of practice to govern workplace bullying.
There are already codes covering harassment and discrimination. Under the new national bullying code it’s hoped that employers across Australia will have a consistent approach to preventing and responding to the problem.

It’s estimated bullying costs tens of billions of dollars each year.
Craig Borg is a criminal lawyer and a private consultant on workplace bullying.
