Event changes resulting from legislative update

With the impending Federal legislation to update the name and role of the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency
(EOWA), the Agency will not be staging its annual Business Achievement Awards this year. With our reporting organisations needing time and assistance to adjust to the phasing in of new reporting procedures over the next two years, the Agency is instead focusing on its reporting and educational demands and ongoing research, including the biennial Women in Leadership Census to be published in November.

For the same reason the Agency will not be seeking applications for the EOWA Employer of Choice for Women citation for the year 2013, and instead have advised those employers celebrated in March this year that they will hold the citation for two years.

The Agency has been staging its annual awards to business, held alternately in Melbourne and Sydney, for the last eleven years. As it prepares to introduce new standardised gender equality indicators and gain a more accurate picture of all Australian workplaces, EOWA will use this postponement of the Business Achievement Awards to review their relevance to its new legislation and how we can together best celebrate future gender equality achievements in the workplace.
