The State Government is in the process of finalising an arrangement with the Working Women's Centre of South Australia to provide additional legal assistance for victims of sexual harassment in the workplace.

The funding injection aligns with the recommendations in the Australian Human Rights Commission's Respect@Work report.

The report called for increased funding for working women's centres in recognition of the prevalence of harassment and discrimination faced by many women in the workplace.

The funding has been provided through the National Legal Assistance Partnership 2020-2025 with the Commonwealth Government and will go directly towards frontline services to address workplace sexual harassment and discrimination.

The Working Women's Centre, specialising in employment and industrial matters, provides free advice and confidential information, support and representation to vulnerable workers residing in South Australia about their rights at work.
