GEAP - Our plan of action

Our planned objectives and initiatives will help us map a path to strengthening intersectional gender equity and inclusion in our workforce.

Care has been taken to align the objectives initiatives and measures with work already underway.

Our obligations according to the Gender Equality Act 2020 are clear. We are required to promote gender equality by conducting intersectional gender analysis on the programs policies and services we deliver that have a direct and significant impact on the public.

We also have an obligation to make reasonable and material progress toward workplace gender equality.

We have already commenced transformational structural and strategic alignment to streamline both our operations and the way we deliver our community's clever and creative vision as well as Our Community Plan. This plan will be informed by these transformation programs and linked to the objectives and frameworks outlined earlier in this document.

Our Target Operating Model (TOM) is a long - term transformation objective comprising of three horizons:

  1. Transforming for the future.
  2. Adapting to agility.
  3. Future proofing.

In order to meet our obligations to 'consider and promote gender equality' and 'take necessary and proportionate action towards achieving gender equality' we are embedding gender impact assessments (GIA+) into our TOM. This will assure a strategic commitment to intersectional gender equality across all the ways we work together.

GIA+s will support our gender mainstreaming approach to ensure we design review and implement programs policies and services in a way that will support the promotion of intersectional gender equality across our region.
