The data is sourced from the Alliance NSW Hospital Health Check, which surveyed 1958 doctors-in-training throughout 2019.
Of the respondents 47.06 per cent said they have witnessed a colleague being bullied, discriminated against or harassed at the hospital according to the data.
Additionally, 41.18 per cent of the respondents are concerned there might be negative consequences if they report inappropriate workplace behaviours.
Of the respondents, 23.53 per cent said they have experienced bullying or harassment themselves and 23.5 per cent have felt unsafe at work due to intimidation from patients or staff.
A Western NSW Local Health District spokesperson said NSW Health had a number of policies to deal with bullying and unacceptable behaviour in the workplace.
"Dubbo Health Service has introduced hospital-wide education to assist junior doctors in identifying and managing bullying and a medical app is available to junior doctors that includes information about well-being, employee assistance and fatigue management," they said.
"Supporting doctors in their training is an important role for the district both in terms of the provision of medical care in our hospitals, ensuring the future medical workforce receives the opportunity to experience practice in rural locations and in encouraging doctors to consider regional and rural locations for future employment.
"As well as providing essential professional development and experience, we aim to make these training roles as personally fulfilling as possible."
The anonymous data was gathered to provide hospitals with grades in five different domains; overtime and rostering, access to leave, wellbeing, education and training, morale and culture.
Of the respondents, 26 per cent were interns, 19 per cent were residents, 10 per cent were senior resident medical officers. Five per cent of the respondents were unaccredited specialty training registrars, 35 per cent were accredited specialty training registrars and three per cent were fellows.
While 57 per cent of respondents were females, 42 per cent were males and less than one percent were non-binary.
The WNSWLHD are happy with an overall review of Dubbo Hospital.
"While we recognise that there are areas relating to our doctors in training where we can improve, a highlight of the report is 94.12 per cent of respondents (in Dubbo) would recommend Dubbo Health Service to other doctors-in-training," the spokesperson said.
