A new report shows workplace sexism exists even at the far ends of the Earth. 

The Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) has been found to have a culture of sexual harassment and bullying in a new review conducted by former Swimming Australia CEO Leigh Russell. 

The review, which was commissioned by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, found that one in four female respondents had experienced workplace sexual harassment, with the majority of cases occurring in the Antarctic stations. 

The review was based on 236 AAD staff survey responses, 48 in-person interviews, and 24 written submissions. 

The report found that 43 per cent of respondents did not feel safe to raise concerns, 34 per cent experienced workplace bullying, and 25 per cent of bullying perpetrators were managers. 

The review made recommendations to improve workplace safety, including a new reporting system for complaints. 

Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek said the findings showed systemic cultural issues at the AAD, while Department Secretary David Fredericks said the required changes would be implemented within set time frames.

It follows a study that last year highlighted a widespread and predatory culture at the Antarctic stations.
