Annual Report to the Office of the Director of Equal Opportunity in Public Employment, NSW

The University is required to report to the NSW Premier's Department each year on its activities relating to equal opportunity and affirmative action for staff.

Our yearly report outlines initiatives to support the representation and distribution of four target groups within the University's workforce. These groups are:

• Women
• Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders
• Members of racial, ethnic and ethno-religious minority groups
• People with disabilities

These four groups have been traditionally disadvantaged in mainstream Australian society, and are underrepresented in some professions and levels of seniority within the University.

We aim to develop a diverse and skilled University workforce that more closely reflects the make-up of the communities that we serve. Our yearly report shows progress towards a more equal representation and distribution of our women staff, Indigenous staff, staff belonging to racial, ethnic and ethno-religious minority groups, and staff with disabilities.
