Equal Opportunity in NSW Public Employment
In 1980 the NSW Anti-Discrimination Act was amended to include Part 9A which requires scheduled authorities, including universities, to:
- ensure the absence of discrimination in employment on the grounds covered by the Act, and
- promote equal employment opportunity for women, members of racial or ethnic minority groups, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and people with a disability.
The Act requires scheduled organisations to report annually on the progress of their equal employment opportunity programs to the Director of Equal Opportunity in Public Employment.
