Two former staffers who claim they were bullied in the office of Aged Care Minister Ken Wyatt say they were ignored by Prime Minister Scott Morrison when they contacted him for help.

The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age have also learnt a claim has been lodged by a former adviser seeking taxpayer-funded compensation for the psychological stress she says she suffered as a result of her employment in the office.

The two staffers sought help from Mr Morrison after leaving Mr Wyatt's office, emailing their concerns separately in September 2018 and April this year.

But they said they were either ignored or made to feel like an inconvenience. One of the former staffers also contacted the Coalition's campaign spokesman, Simon Birmingham, but his office also did not address their claims.
