There are many ethical challenges that junior doctors will encounter and deal within their day-to-day work, and are required to ensure their decisions are ethical and they exercise integrity in relationships with others. Anti-discrimination and vilification All employees are responsible for ensuring the workplace is free from unlawful discrimination and vilification. Discrimination is unlawful under the following grounds: Vilification means that a person must not incite hatred toward, or serious contempt for, or severe ridicule of a person or groups of persons on the grounds of race, religion, sexuality or gender identity of the person. Local guidelines and procedures have been developed by HHSs to ensure employees are aware of their legal obligations, requirements and responsibilities. Workplace harassment and sexual harassment All employees are responsible for ensuring the workplace is free from harassment and must not engage in any behaviour that could amount to harassment. Workplace harassment is repeated and unreasonable behaviour directed towards a worker or group of workers that creates a risk to health and safety. Sexual harassment occurs when an employee subjects another person to an unsolicited act of physical intimacy or makes an unsolicited demand or request for sexual behaviours. This also includes remarks or sexual connotations and engagement of any other unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature. + Sex + Age + Gender identity + Relationship Status + Race + Sexuality + Parental Status + Impairment + Family Responsibilities + Pregnancy + Religious belief or religious activity + Breastfeeding + Trade union activity | 35
