The ASU is running a short survey - bit.ly/353qGYv - to get Vic Local Gov workers feedback on how the Gender Equality Act is being implemented in your workplaces!
The Act requires councils to take positive action towards achieving workplace gender equality & consult workers along the way.
We need to hear from you! This information will be used to ensure that the Act is being implemented as it’s intended.
Please fill out the survey bit.ly/353qGYv & share round!
