Equal Opportunity for Women – Government seeks feedback from Female Employees

Complementing this month’s Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace roundtables, the federal Office for Women is inviting employees to complete a brief online survey.

The Government is keen to have the broadest possible section of the community provide input into its examination of the effectiveness and efficiency of the Equal Opportunity for Women Act.

Both women and men are invited to complete the survey about their perceptions of equal opportunity for women in the workplace and how it may be improved.

The survey consists of five questions and is completely confidential. Respondents are not asked to reveal their identity or workplace.

The survey closes on 30 October 2009.

To complete the survey or for more information on the review, employees should visit: www.fahcsia.gov.au/sa/women
