Former Liberal staffer Brittany Higgins has welcomed the Morrison government's decision to adopt an independent complaints mechanism for serious incidents in Parliament House, which is the central recommendation of the Foster review.

Higgins, who says she was raped by a more senior colleague in the office of the then defence industry minister Linda Reynolds, said on Monday an independent complaints mechanism would ensure Parliament House is a safer workplace for all future employees".
