Queensland Law Society's position statement on sexual harassment, workplace bullying, and discrimination
As Queensland’s peak professional body for the legal profession, Queensland Law Society has an essential role to play in leading the profession towards healthy, safe, inclusive and respectful workplaces. The Society recognises that the issues of sexual harassment, workplace bullying and discrimination within the legal profession are problems which require considered and targeted responses.
The Society has created a position statement that sets out a strategy to highlight what we consider as the issues and our response to them.
