Commonwealth Government Department

Review of Historical Bullying & Harassment Allegations

CurbyMcLintock was engaged to conduct an independent investigation for a Commonwealth Government Agency into historical allegations of systemic bullying and harassment by senior management toward a senior staff member over an extended period.
The engagement required a “Review of Action” to assess how earlier complaints and internal steps and investigation had been handled. The work involved interviewing the complainant to obtain further context, examining previous actions taken by the Department, and preparing an evidence matrix outlining each allegation, associated assertions, and potential sources of corroborating evidence.
The final assessment outlined whether elements of the historical complaint had been appropriately addressed or required further action, providing clarity and structure around a complex and long-running workplace matter.
