Free Sexual Harassment in the Workplace Training for General Practice Staff

Free Sexual Harassment in the Workplace Training for General Practice Staff

Create a safer, more respectful clinic environment — at zero cost.

Workplace culture matters — especially in healthcare, where professionalism, compassion, and trust form the backbone of every patient interaction. That’s why the free online course “Sexual Harassment in the Workplace: Training for GP, Admin, and Nursing Staff” is now available through General Practice Training & Consulting (GPTC).

This course is designed for general practitioners, nurses, receptionists, and practice managers who want to understand, prevent, and respond effectively to workplace harassment. It’s free, practical, and essential for every team that values dignity and respect.

Why Every Practice Needs This Training

Sexual harassment in healthcare workplaces can take many forms — from inappropriate jokes or comments to unwanted advances or boundary-crossing behaviour between colleagues or patients.

Beyond the emotional harm, it exposes practices to serious legal, reputational, and accreditation risks. The RACGP 5th Edition Standards and Safe Work Australia both emphasise the need for clear training and prevention policies.

This free course helps your team:

• Recognise unacceptable behaviours early

• Respond safely and confidently when issues arise

• Support victims with empathy and confidentiality

• Promote a culture of respect and inclusion

• Meet WHS and accreditation requirements for staff training

Course Highlights

• Free and 100% online – No fees, no sign-up costs, no contracts

• Instant certificate – Download and file as evidence of staff training

• Short, focused modules – Ideal for busy GP clinics and health services

• Compliant with Australian workplace standards

• Suitable for all roles – GP, practice nurse, receptionist, and admin

The course can be completed in under an hour — yet delivers lasting impact on staff confidence, team safety, and workplace professionalism.
