Workforce Initiatives and Diversity
At the Department of Education, Training and the Arts we are committed to equal employment opportunity and to creating inclusive work environments where people are valued for their diverse cultures, experiences, knowledge and abilities.
Workforce diversity means that we recognise and respect our differences and reflect this in the way we work and treat each other. In this way, our workplaces are welcoming, supportive, productive and free from all forms of unlawful discrimination and harassment.
The Workforce Diversity and Equity Framework for Action 2006-2008 (new window) 542k 
This has recently been evaluated and finalised. A new Diversity Strategy is currently being developed.
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Employment Framework for Action 2007 — 2010 (new window) 319k (the Framework) is a whole-of-department document that details actions and strategies focused on improving employment, retention and career development of Indigenous people within the department. The Framework sits alongside the Workforce Diversity and Equity Framework for Action 2006-2008 as a companion document, both of which provide a framework in which the department can enhance its capacity to foster a workplace culture based on valuing and respecting diversity.
