Caravan park and director charged over sexual harassment of worker

Bromell Pty Ltd, trading as Beechworth Holiday Park, faces a single charge under section 21(1) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act for failing to provide and maintain a workplace that was safe and without risks to health.

It is alleged the company failed to reduce the risk of psychological injury by failing to devise a policy on appropriate and inappropriate workplace behaviour, and implementing the policy by training all managers, supervisors and employees.

The company's sole director, 56, faces one charge under section 144(1) of the OHS Act for failing to take reasonable care and one charge under section 26(1) of the OHS Act for failing to ensure a workplace under their control was safe and without risks to health.

WorkSafe alleges the director was solely responsible for the company's breach after exposing the worker to health and safety risks between July 2022 and March 2024.

The matters are listed for a mention at Wodonga Magistrates’ Court on 2 September 2025.
