Gender Equality Progress Report

The Commission for Gender Equality in the Public Sector

The Commission for Gender Equality in the Public Sector was established after the Gender Equality Bill 2019 (Vic) passed in February 2020. The Commission supports the Public Sector Gender Equality Commissioner to oversee the implementation of the Gender Equality Act 2020 and promote gender equality in the public sector workforce and the broader Victorian community.

Objects of the Act

  • Promote, encourage and facilitate the achievement of gender equality and improvement in the status of women
  • Support the identification and elimination of systemic causes of gender inequality in policy, programs and delivery of services in workplaces and communities
  • Recognise that gender inequality may be compounded by other forms of disadvantage or discrimination that a person may experience on the basis of Aboriginality, age, disability, ethnicity, gender identity, race, religion, sexual orientation and other attributes
  • Redress disadvantage, address stigma, stereotyping, prejudice and violence, and accommodate persons of different genders by way of structural change
  • Enhance economic and social participation by persons of different genders
  • Further promote the right to equality set out in the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.
