During an orientation session for junior doctors in Adelaide recently, staff were asked to put up their hand if they had ever seen or experienced bullying or harassment in the workplace.
"The majority of hands went up," said Hannah Szewczyk, a trainee obstetrician and gynaecologist.
"It's really common … but it's often hard to get people to speak about their own experience because so many trainees are worried how it will impact their training or progression."
