EOWA REVIEW CONSULTATION REPORT NOW ONLINE Print E-mail
The report of consultations on the review of the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Act 1999 is now available online. The report by KPMG shows that there is a high level of interest in the community about gender equality in Australian workplaces. Over 130 submissions were received from businesses, unions, employers, employees, women’s groups and other interested parties. Hundreds of reporting organisations and employees were surveyed and roundtables have been held at five locations across the country. Participants in the review held strong opinions on a range of significant matters such as barriers to equal employment opportunity and ways to improve employment outcomes for women. The Government has benefitted from the knowledge and experiences of those who made submissions. As we move through the review process the Government is well placed to ensure that any recommendations for change are well-founded and credible. The Government is now considering the submissions and will release its response in coming months. The consultation report is available at www.fahcsia.gov.au/sa/women

Join the Campaign for Increased Investment in TAFE
Only TAFE can deliver the quality
training and education Australians
need. But for too long TAFEs
across the nation have been
forced to do more with less. New
research shows funding has been
cut and TAFEs are being forced to
turn away thousands of students
as a result. Staff workloads are
rising and budgets are falling.
Now is the time for action.
Send a message to Julia Gillard
and Wayne Swan letting them
know how important it is to
increase investment in TAFE in
this year’s budget. More info
