Employers would be forced to disclose incidents of sexual harassment to workplace authorities under reforms flagged by the Victorian government.

It's one of the changes to be looked at by a new task force aimed at making workplaces safer for women, Acting Premier James Merlino says.

It will work out the threshold for triggering a mandatory sexual harassment report and how this will be enforced. "Every worker, regardless of where they work, deserves to work in an environment that's free of sexual harassment or any other form of intimidation," she said.The task force will look at how to better prevent and respond to sexual harassment and protect complainants from adverse repercussions when they do come forward.
