Application for an FWC order to stop bullying - whether application has reasonable prospects of success

• [1] On 15 September 2025, Ms Marie Everitt applied for an order to stop bullying at work under s.789FC of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). The application was made in relation to East Magpies Sports Club (the Club) and persons with whom Ms Everitt interacted while at work in the business of the Club.

• [2] Ms Everitt has not worked at the Club since she was removed from the roster on or about 12 September 2025. She is no longer at work in the business of the Club and is no longer interacting with the individuals named in the application in any work context. Having heard from the parties, there is no prospect of this situation changing in the foreseeable future. The Commission could not make any orders in the matter. The application has no reasonable prospects of success.[1]

• [3] The application (AB2025/775) is dismissed under section 587(1)(c) of the Act.
