Victoria, Australia reviews NDA use in sexual harassment cases, proposing changes to protect victims.

Victoria, Australia is reviewing its non-disclosure agreement (NDA) use in workplace sexual harassment cases amid concerns they silence victims and protect perpetrators or employers. Proposed changes include banning NDAs unless requested by the victim, reviewing "cooling-off" periods, and allowing victims to speak openly with medical or legal professionals. The reforms aim to halt coercion into silence and align with laws in Canada's Prince Edward Island province.
