Working With Children and Youth
Our commitment to the safety of young people
All young people who access ATEC services have a right to feel and be safe. The safety and wellbeing of all children and young people accessing our services will always be our first priority.
This policy applies to all employees, volunteers, young people, visitors and individuals who access ATEC services and complies with the child safe environments provisions of the Children and Young People (Safety) Act 2017. Employees providing education services wholly or partly for children or young people are mandatory notifiers under the Child and Young People (Safety) act 2017. It is a legal requirement for a mandated notifier to report their suspicions if a young person is at risk of harm to the Department of Child Protection.
Workplace Gender Equality
The Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012 (Act) replaced the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Act 1999. The new, strengthened legislation aims to improve and promote equality for both women and men in the workplace.
The principle objects of the Act are to:
- promote and improve gender equality (including equal remuneration between women and men) in employment and in the workplace
- support employers to remove barriers to the full and equal participation of women in the workforce, in recognition of the disadvantaged position of women in relation to employment matters
- promote, amongst employers, the elimination of discrimination on the basis of gender in relation to employment matters (including in relation to family and caring responsibilities)
- foster workplace consultation between employers and employees on issues concerning gender equality in employment and in the workplace
- improve the productivity and competitiveness of Australian businesses through the advancement of gender equality in employment and in the workplace.
Reflecting the 2012 legislation, the agency charged with overseeing the Act (formerly the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency) has been renamed the Workplace Gender Equality Agency. (Source: www.wgea.gov.au)
