 Home : EOWA Employer of Choice For Women : How To Apply
To apply:

Please note: it is the obligation of the employer to ensure that enough information is submitted in this application.

When you need to apply
Compliant or waived organisations that wish to be considered for the ‘EOWA Employer of Choice for Women’ citation need to apply to EOWA by the 15th October each year. Applications can not be accepted after this date. The written application must set out how the organisation meets the six criteria. Please refer to the EOWA EOCFW Information & Application Kit.

If an organisation has submitted a Compliance Report or Waiving Application during the year, they may find that they have included most of the information required of an EOCFW application within their earlier report. Therefore, the information would simply need to be extracted and possibly reframed to include under each of the six criteria. However the six criteria must be clearly demonstrated.

Organisations cited on the current list that are wishing to re-apply for EOWA Employer of Choice for Women also need to complete the relevant sections of the application form.

Announcement
