Staff in Australia’s parliament have filed 30 complaints of serious workplace offenses such as sexual assault over nine months, the Sydney Morning Herald reported on Sunday, as the legislature struggles to address a spate of scandals.

The Parliamentary Workplace Support Service opened in October 2023 as a confidential service for federal parliament workers. It received 30 serious crime reports out of 339 total cases in its first nine months of operation, from October 2023 to June 2024, the paper said.

Allegations of wrongdoing included sexual assault, stalking and intimidation, the paper said. He did not say whether any of the cases had been referred to police or prosecuted.

The service was established after a 2021 government report found that one in three people working in Australia’s parliament, located in the capital Canberra, had experienced sexual harassment.

In 2023, an Australian senator said she was stalked, aggressively propositioned and inappropriately touched by another senator.

The service did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside business hours.

In April, an Australian judge found that a former government adviser raped a colleague in a Parliament office, dismissing a defamation suit in a case that gripped the nation, which has seen a wave of #MeToo allegations in 2022.
