Public Forum: Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)
2025-10-02 17:30 - 19:30 (Australia/Sydney) | The Jade, 142-160 Flinders, Adelaide, South Australia, 5000, Australia
Sexual harassment is a serious, widespread issue in workplaces – and NDAs have become part of this problem. It is difficult to stop sexual harassment if the people who experience it are prevented from talking about it. It’s time for stronger action to prevent sexual harassment from being hidden by employers and to stop victim-survivors from being silenced.

Hear from:

The Hon. Katrine Hildyard MP, Minister for Women and the Prevention of Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence

Sharmilla Bargon, Co-author of Let’s Talk About Confidentiality Report and Legal Director, Working Women’s Centre NSW

And activists with lived experience of workplace sexual harassment.

This event is free and all are welcome! Please register your attendance.

The event space at the Jade is wheelchair accessible through an alternative entrance directly through the leafy garden area. From there those using a wheelchair can access the perimeter of the event space, the front bar area and an accessible toilet.
