- NSW research found inappropriate behaviour affected more than one in four women.

## Summary

Australian law firm Slater and Gordon is asking women who allege they were sexually assaulted or harassed by Uber drivers to register their experiences while it investigates a potential class action. The inquiry will assess whether Uber’s safety systems and its responses to complaints adequately protect female passengers; no class action has begun and no liability has been established.

The firm says women can come forward even if they did not report an incident to Uber or police. More than 7.4 million Australians use Uber, which has about 80 per cent of the rideshare market. NSW government research found more than one in four women had experienced inappropriate or offensive behaviour in rideshares or taxis. Uber said safety is a core value and that it has invested heavily in protecting users.
