The Gender Equality Act was legislated in 2020.
The Act promotes gender equality by:
1. Requiring the Victorian public sector, local councils and universities to take positive action towards achieving workplace gender equality.
2. Requiring these organisations to consider and promote gender equality in their policies, programs and services.
What, in practical terms, does this mean for Local Government?
Join our fantastic panel of speakers on Thursday 7 April from 11.30am – 12.30pm to gain a greater understanding of Gender Equality from the Commissioner, and also hear from LG CEO's about the experience they've had in the implementation of the Act and principles throughout their organisation so far.
Our Keynote speaker for this webinar will be Dr Niki Vincent, Public Sector Gender Equality Commissioner.
