Prohibition of coercion and misleading conduct

In addition to prohibiting discriminatory conduct in relation to work health and safety matters, Part 6 of the Model Act also makes it unlawful to:

• • coerce or induce a person to exercise or not exercise a power, function or role under the Act; and
• • knowingly or recklessly misrepresent a person’s rights, obligations, ability to participate in processes or proceedings or make complaints or inquiries under the Act.

This Guidance Note explains what types of content will amount to coercion, inducement and misrepresentation.
