Former ACC staffer wins compensation for bullying

From Morning Report, 7:50 am on 6 July 2022

ACC has been forced to compensate one of its own former staffers for the depression and anxiety she suffered from being bullied at work.

The woman was a senior staff member who took her case to court and won. The agency must now provide ongoing cover for a mental injury that happened under its watch.

One employment law expert says it opens the door for more victims of workplace bullying to seek similar redress.

Amy Williams has the story.
