The Commission has established a Diversity Committee to assist in developing, implementing and monitoring this and other diversity related activities across the Commission. This Committee has terms of reference which incorporate responsibilities for monitoring commitments under our Reconciliation Action Plan, Disability Action Plan and Agency Multicultural Plan. The Commission as part of the accountability framework for Workplace Diversity is required to report in its Annual Report to Parliament and to the Australian Public Service Commission's “ State of the Service Report ”.
Our commitment to diversity is captured in goal 4 of our strategic plan:
- having a diverse and respectful workplace that reflects the diversity of the Australian community
to ensure its importance is never far from our vision.
