Earlier this month, the Federal Court awarded Ms Magar a record $305,000 in damages for sexual harassment, victimisation and aggravated damages, surpassing the previous $268,000 awarded to a jewellery store worker in 2023.
Now she has spoken publicly about the ordeal for the first time to the ABC.
"It wasn't just to get the justice or that kind of fairytale, it was more about to make that person accountable,"she said.
"I wanted to tell my story from my side … instead of someone else telling what I might have thought, or what I might have done."
The case has ramifications beyond the payout for Ms Magar, said her lawyer, Seri Feldman-Gubbay from Redfern Legal Centre.
"This case sends a very important warning to employers that sexual harassment is not only unlawful but will be taken seriously and will result in serious consequences if claims are brought in court," Ms Feldman-Gubbay said.
"Every year we're seeing an upwards trend in the amount of damages that are being awarded in these types of cases."
