This Report is the first progress report since the Government tabled its response to the Enough is Enough Report on 21 September 2022.
Responsibility for implementation of the recommendations is shared across Government and with the mining industry. Of the 24 recommendations contained in the Enough is Enough Report, the Government supports in total or in principle all 15 recommendations within its responsibility to implement, and in this Progress Report, outlines its actions to implement Government’s commitments.
Since the initial tabled Government response, important steps have been made to strengthen reporting processes, improve critical support for victim-survivors and to develop education resources and training to support individuals and employers to prevent and respond to violence, harassment and discrimination against women in the mining industry.
Through the MARS Program, the Government has funded the development of training for first responders, report receivers and those involved in workplace investigation of sexual harassment in the mining industry. It has also funded a community legal centre to provide triage and non-legal social work support services to those working in the WA mining industry who have been affected by workplace sexual harassment.
