What to do if you’re
being bullied at work?
Earlier this year the USU launched our campaign
called “How Healthy is Your Workplace?”
Members provided feedback that a major health
impact on many workers is bullying.
If you are experiencing bullying at work, it is
sometimes very difficult to handle. It is easy to go
over and over in your mind, wondering why it is
happening. And it can quickly take the enjoyment
out of your work, and leave you feeling alone.
In our campaign video USU General Secretary
Graeme Kelly OAM and members explain why we
have launched this important campaign.
We have also developed some useful tools to
help you if you are being bullied or are suffering
workplace stress. Why not check them out and
share them with family and friends?

Take our Quick Quiz
Not sure if you are being bullied at
work?
Take our quiz to find out. After
taking the quiz, you can request a
fifteen minute consultation with
one of our Organisers, to find out
more about how we can support
you.
“The campaign is designed to shine a spotlight on workplaces and what
the USU can do to help you improve your conditions in this new norm of
working from home.
We are here to help. We need to make sure you are looked after in your
workplace. We’re here to listen so let’s have that conversation now.”

“It has to be
safe, it has to be
consistent. We
have to ensure the
support is there.”
“There are
struggles from
working from
home given the
isolation.”
“It was hard. I’ve
worked here
for 42 years
and always had
people around.”
“Now is the
perfect time to
re-evaluate what
it is we need and
what works best.”
