New Victorian Bill to Restrict Non-Disclosure Agreements in Sexual Harassment Cases 

 The Victorian Government has introduced the Restricting Non-Disclosure Agreements (Sexual Harassment at Work) Bill 2025, which aims to prohibit the use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in workplace sexual harassment matters unless specifically requested by the complainant. 

 Key provisions include:
 

• • NDAs only permitted at the worker's request

• •  Mandatory information statements and a review period before signing

• •  A ban on employers pressuring or influencing workers to sign NDAs

• •  Allowing workers to speak with authorised bodies such as Victoria Police, and medical or legal professionals

• •  NDA after providing 12 months' notice to the other party
