EQUAL OPPORTUNITY


The Horsham Rural City Council is committed to providing a workplace free of all forms of discrimination, bullying and harassment and aims for equality of opportunity for all employees.


Council’s policy and practices aim to ensure that there is no discrimination relating to the characteristics listed under the Equal Opportunity Act (1995) (incorporating amendments as at 28 April 2010) such as race, colour, sex, marital status, parenthood, physical or mental impairment, age, criminal record, religious or political affiliation.


Trained staff contact officers are available throughout the organisation to provide a first point of confidential contact and information for employees on Equal Opportunity issues.


Selection of individuals for employment, promotion or advancement, training and staff development is on the basis of personal merit in fair and open competition according to the skills, knowledge and efficiency relevant to the position involved.


Council’s Policy on Equal Employment Opportunity reflects its desire to provide and enjoy a workplace free of discrimination where each person has the opportunity to progress to the extent of their ability.
