What Is Workplace Bullying?

Workplace bullying occurs when an individual or group repeatedly behaves unreasonably toward a worker, posing a risk to health and safety. Intent is not required; what matters is the impact of the behaviour.

Some examples of workplace bullying or harassment include:

  • Constant unjustified criticism or complaints
  • Repeated threats of dismissal or demotion
  • Excluding someone from workplace activities
  • Inconsistent and unfair enforcement of rules
  • Unrealistic deadlines or workload expectations
  • Deliberately inconvenient work changes
  • Excessive scrutiny of work performance
  • Withholding necessary information or tools
  • Taking credit for another employee’s work
  • Verbal abuse or physical assault

If the bullying involves physical harm or property damage, it may also be a criminal offence. At Wyatts, we have expert workplace bullying lawyers who protect you from this unjust treatment and get you compensated for your physical and mental suffering.

Am I Eligible to Make a Bullying or Harassment Claim?

You may be eligible to make a workplace bullying or harassment claim if:

  • You are experiencing repeated unreasonable behaviour that risks your health and safety.
  • You are a worker covered under the Fair Work Act 2009, which applies to full-time, part-time, casual, contract, and volunteer workers.
  • The bullying is ongoing. A single incident is insufficient to establish a bullying claim, but it may be addressed under other legal protections.
  • Your employer has failed to take action despite complaints or concerns being raised.
  • The behaviour has impacted your health, safety, or ability to work.

If bullying involves discrimination, sexual harassment, or criminal conduct, you may also have grounds for additional legal claims. Consulting an employment lawyer can help you determine your eligibility and the best course of action.

Who is Not Eligible for a Workplace Bullying Claim?

You may not be eligible to file a workplace bullying claim if:

  • You are not considered a “worker” under the Fair Work Act 2009 (e.g., genuinely self-employed individuals or independent contractors).
  • The behaviour was a single incident rather than ongoing, repeated actions.
  • The actions were reasonable management decisions made fairly and lawfully, such as performance evaluations, disciplinary action for misconduct, or workplace restructuring and role changes.
  • You no longer work for the employer and are seeking a bullying order (bullying claims under Fair Work only apply to current employees).
  • The behaviour does not pose a risk to health and safety, meaning it does not create a harmful or toxic work environment.

Even if you don’t qualify for a bullying claim, you may still have legal options under discrimination, harassment, or unfair dismissal laws. 

What Compensation Can I Get For Workplace Bullying?

Your rights depend on several factors, including the nature and cause of workplace bullying. Federal Anti-Bullying Laws 2014 can stop workplace bullying quickly but do not provide automatic monetary compensation or reinstatement. However, workplace bullying is also covered by discrimination law, general protections under the Fair Work Act 2009, unfair dismissal law, employment contract law, etc.

Navigating a bullying claim can be challenging, but our team of experienced employment law lawyers are here to simplify the entire process. You may be able to claim the following compensation:

Entitlement Description

Compensation for Psychological or Emotional Distress

If bullying has caused mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD

Loss of Income

Reimbursement for wages lost due to medical leave, resignation, or unfair termination

Medical and Treatment Costs

If bullying has resulted in a work-related injury or illness, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation.

Reinstatement or Workplace Adjustments

If you were forced to resign or relocate, you may request reinstatement or changes to your work environment.

Stop Bullying Orders

A legally enforceable order from the Fair Work Commission to prevent further bullying

General Damages

Compensation for pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life caused by workplace bullying

Each case is different, and the compensation you may receive depends on the severity of the bullying, its impact on your health and career, and applicable workplace laws. Our professional bullying claims lawyers can ensure you receive all the benefits you’re entitled to.
