Daniel Andrews will be investigated by Victoria's workplace safety watchdog after a rogue MP claimed his office bullied her for years. 

WorkSafe Victoria launched an investigation into allegations of bullying by a former advisor to the premier of Labor MP Kaushaliya Vaghela. 

The watchdog is understood to be making inquiries into how the premier's private officer managed Ms Vagahela's complaints, the Herald Sun reports. 

The Labor MP called Mr Andrews a 'misogynist' and felt personally let down by the state leader and his party. 

'He has a problem with women, but he also has a problem with anyone who doesn't hold the same views as him or doesn't do what he wants,' she said.

'People don't see his real side. He's a misogynist, that is what he is. He talks about respecting women but that's not what I saw.'

Earlier this week, the upper-house MP said she had been 'bullied, harassed and intimidated' by unnamed men in a series of explosive tweets. 

In texts she claims to have sent to top staffer Lissie Ratcliff in December of 2019, she said the unidentified men were 'trying to defame me and malign my name.' 

'I am sick and tired of these men trying to bully, harass and intimidate me in all the ways they can,' she wrote in the text.

She then referenced one Labor member whose name was redacted, and claimed they 'actually want to hurt me and my family'.

'I am really scared for my safety,' she continued. 'I really need your help for my and my family's safety.'

'Before I speak to the premier, as a last resort, I am seeking your help to look into this matter. Please take required action.' 

Ms Vagahela claimed she was forced to wait up to two years for her complaints to be taken seriously, saying she first voiced her concerns in April 2019. 

Ms Vaghela shared a text she sent to the premier's Chief of Staff in 2019 where she claimed she was scared of her safety from another staffer

The state government rejected this and insisted swift action was taken after a formal written complaint was received in May 2021. 

The premier's office said there is no such claim of bullying from 2019.
