Changes to the EOCFW application requirements in 2011
There has been just one significant change to Criterion 4 as highlighted in red below.

The organisation must:
c) have had no judgment or adverse final order made against it by a court or other tribunal relating to gender discrimination or harassment, for a period of three years prior to its EOCFW application.

This means that organisations with outstanding cases will not be precluded from applying for EOCFW. Only organisations with judgments or adverse findings against them relating to gender discrimination or harassment will be precluded for three years.

However, organisations MUST advise EOWA immediately if, subsequent to its submission of an EOCFW application, a judgment or adverse final order is made against it by a court or other tribunal relating to gender discrimination or harassment. This will result in the organisation’s EOCFW application being unsuccessful. If the organisation is a recipient of the EOCFW citation, its EOCFW status will be rescinded.

Only EOWA Reporting Organisations may apply, with the exception of non-Reporting Organisations with 80-100 Staff
If your organisation does not report to EOWA because it has less than 100 staff, it may apply for EOWA Employer of Choice for Women if it has 80 or more staff and meets the standard of organisations which have been waived from EOWA reporting.
