May 1991
Dec 1992
GSO 1-4
31.4% were women
61.4% were women
GSO 5-10
No women at all,
100% men
37.2% were women
This comparison of GSO staff by gender indicates that the representation of women in the higher GSO classification has improved dramatically.
2. The Chief Ministers Policy statement Setting the Agenda - EEO in the ACT Government Service includes the needs of target groups as a key issue facing the ACTGS. ACT Health is currently following these guidelines in conjunction with those set out in the ACT Government publication Making it Happen - EEO Strategies for Managers and Supervisors. In addition, the ACT Health 1993-1994 EEO Plan is being implemented. This Plan includes;
• 21 specific action plans that directly address the status of target group employees of ACT Health,
• 38 specific action plans which indirectly address the status of target group members in ACT Health.
3. The 1993-1994 EEO Plan is a two year plan. Following the completion of the current EEO plan a further plan will be formulated according to the particular needs of staff in ACT Health. The EEO Plan will continue to address the needs of women as well as other target group members working ACT Health, as appropriate. An estimate in terms of actual time needed to address any imbalances in staff representation ranges from the short term strategies in the EEO Plan to longer term strategies being implemented across government employment areas.
4. I am pleased to advise the Assembly that gender will be included in the data to be loaded on PERSPECT.
5. The designated groups other than women include; people of non English speaking background, Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders, and people with disabilities.
As previously mentioned, the Chief Ministers Policy statement Setting the Agenda includes the needs of target groups as a key issue facing the ACTGS. The ACT .Health 1993-1994 EEO Plan specifically addresses the needs of target group members through direct and indirect action plans.
