In a brief on‑stage segment at the FCCA Australia Film Awards, Jessica Hickman shares her personal journey after enduring three and a half years of workplace bullying that culminated in a hospital stay. She reflects on the confusion of being targeted despite working for a good cause and explains how this experience sparked her mission to investigate bullying across all sectors of society. Hickman emphasizes that bullying, once confined to schools, now follows individuals into their homes through technology. She thanks the supporting organisations Life Bank and Kudos Knowledge for their partnership, and acknowledges Graham Hannell, CEO of Life Bank, who could not attend.

they do, and we're going to love them because they look after us. Jessica.
Hi everyone, thanks for having us here today. It's a real pleasure to be involved. 2 years ago, I ended up in a hospital bed after suffering 3 and a half years of workplace bullying. At the time, I didn't understand why I was suffering bullying for being a good person doing a good cause. But that moment led me onto my journey, and that was to explore bullying and understand why people suffer bullying. And it's people in all walks of life, whether in the public eye, doing good cause, disability— every pocket of society is vulnerable to suffer bullying. And bullying is an old story. Bullying used to end at the school gate, but with the emergence of technology that unfortunately follows us home to our safe place. So kudos Knowledge, I'm so thankful. Life Bank, kudos Knowledge, and Graham Hannell, the CEO, unfortunately can't be here today, but it's a real pleasure to join forces with
