Australian Greens leader Richard Di Natale concedes his party must do better in response to allegations of sexual misconduct.

Several women claim they were not supported after coming forward to the Greens with accusations of misconduct against members and staff.

"We're doing everything we can to ensure that women who come forward feel supported when they do," Senator Di Natale told the ABC on Sunday.

The Greens have consulted widely on the misconduct allegations and are implementing compulsory training of staff, officials and members of parliament.

A NSW Greens MP is the subject of an active investigation into sexual misconduct allegations. He has not been stood down while the investigation is held.

Senator Di Natale said the NSW Greens were still examining the matter.

"They are responding to it and they're taking it very, very seriously," he said.

"I expect the investigation to be concluded very, very soon."
