Who can use this form

Only use Form F75 if you:

are a worker, or seeking to become a worker, in a business or undertaking, or a person who is conducting a business or undertaking, and
believe you have been sexually harassed in connection with work on or after 6 March 2023, and
want us to deal with a sexual harassment dispute by making a stop sexual harassment order, or by dealing with the dispute in another way, or both.

An industrial association should also use this form if it is entitled to represent the industrial interests of a person who believes they have been sexually harassed and who wants us to deal with a sexual harassment dispute.

Before you start

If you believe the sexual harassment at work happened or started before 6 March 2023, don’t use this form. Use Form F72A instead.

Important: we will give a copy of your claim and any documents you send us to the other people in the case. This includes each business or undertaking named in the application, the people named as having engaged in sexual harassment and any legal representatives or paid agents involved in the case. This is so they can respond. They will see your details and any personal information you send us.  If you are not sure what to put in your application, or whether to give us any documents to support your claim, contact us. 

Have this information ready before you begin. You will need to tell us:

your contact details
your representative's contact details (if you have one)
details for each business or undertaking to which the allegations of sexual harassment relate, including a contact person and their direct contact details
the details of each person said to have sexually harassed the aggrieved person
the behaviour you believe is sexual harassment
if you are seeking a stop sexual harassment order, what you think needs to happen to stop the alleged sexual harassment from continuing
if you want us to deal with the dispute in addition to, or other than, by making a stop sexual harassment order, what outcome you’re seeking to settle the dispute
