One in six WA Health Department employees claim to have been subjected to bullying or harassment in the previous 12 months, according to a survey. The preliminary results of a survey of more than 700 staff show 31 per cent of staff did not feel confident in reporting bad behaviour. One-third of those surveyed believed that behaviour within the department was not always “ethical and honest.” It follows a previous poll in 2016, and separate surveys of clinical staff by the department and the Australian Medical Association WA which revealed poor morale and culture.
