point of contact for staff who feel they have experienced
workplace bullying or harassment and to provide informal
and formal resolution options.
All new employees are required to complete an induction
process including Code of Conduct and Workplace Health and
Safety training relevant to their duties. Staff performance is
actively managed through regular performance reviews, which
include discussions with staff about their development needs.

Correction to the

On page 70 of the

incorrectly recorded as the 2012–13 Actual outcome for the
