Policy on Equal Employment Opportunity


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


This is achieved by mandating a work environment that provides for mutual respect and a professional approach to relationships at all levels.


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 affi liation.


Trained staff contact offi cers are available throughout the organisation to provide a fi rst point of confi dential 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 effi ciency relevant to the position involved.


Council’s Policy on Equal Employment Opportunity refl ects 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.
