Workplace Bullying, Sexual Harassment and Discrimination - Ambulance Victoria

Bullying Experiences

Ambulance Victoria has engaged the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission (VEOHRC) to investigate allegations of sex discrimination and bullying within AV.

We know that the cultural problems at AV are much broader than just sexual harassment, and have already written to VEOHRC to demand the expansion of their investigation in to the toxic management culture at AV.

This survey has been designed to gather data to support our submission and to provide evidence to change the structure and process at AV - too many complaints have not been properly investigated, and we need to make sure this does not keep happening.

Any information you supply today will not be shared unless it is totally un-identifiable. None of these questions are mandatory, you can skip any that make you uncomfortable. Please call us on 9287 1713 if you would like us to be able to contact you about further actions in the future, or if you would like to be a part of our submission and case studies we will be submitting to the VEOHRC.
