The Melbourne Market Authority (MMA) is committed to ensuring a safe and positive workplace environment that supports the mental health and wellbeing of all individuals who access the Melbourne Market site. The Stronger Together initiative puts this vision into practice, striving for a market where everyone feels included, safe and is treated with respect. A place free of racism, sexism, discrimination, harassment, violence and bullying.
While the Market Operating Rules outline how we work and behave on market land to ensure a fair, safe and efficient trading environment, Stronger Together is about strengthening the Market community for all our benefit – because respect is everyone’s business.
Anti-social behaviour, including racism, sexism, violence, bullying or harassment, is not acceptable. If you have witnessed or experienced anti-social behaviour in the Melbourne Market and would like to report or discuss the incident, please contact:
