The Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Act 1999 (the Act) requires all non-government and not-for-profit organisations that employ a total of 100 or more staff (including full-time, part-time, casual, temporary employees and independent contractors from all subsidiaries) to report to EOWA annually on their workplace program for women.

If you have reported in previous years and have changed organisational details which you believe affects your requirement to report, you must submit details via our on-line form (or submit an updated Organisation Cover sheet) before your requirement to report can be changed.

Important: Your requirement to report stands until you receive formal acknowledgement from EOWA.

See if your organisation is covered by the Act:

If your organisation is covered by the Act…
You will need to develop an equal opportunity for women in the workplace program and report on it annually to EOWA.

If your organisation is not covered by the Act…
We encourage you to explore this website as the information it contains may still be of interest and education.

Did you know . . .

That 65% of the workforce is female, yet top management is still 90% male?
Quote
“Women are 50 percent of the equation. Choosing not to work with women is like trying to progress with one hand tied behind your back.”
