Based on various federal and state laws,
Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) is about making sure
that the workplace is free from all forms of unlawful
discrimination and harassment.
As part of our commitment to fair treatment
for staff (International Ubiquitous Education consortium)
will ensure that no discriminatory policies, practices
or procedures exist in any aspect of employment. All
employees are treated on their merits, without regard
to race, age, sex, relationship status or any other
factor not applicable to the position. Employees are
valued according to how well they perform their duties,
and on their ability to maintain Company standards of
service.
The Company believes that all employees
should be able to work in an environment free of discrimination,
victimisation, sexual harassment and vilification. We
consider these behaviours unacceptable and they will
not be tolerated under any circumstances.
Under the Queensland Anti-Discrimination
Act 1991,(the Act) discrimination, victimisation, sexual
harassment and vilification are illegal.
Discrimination in employment on the following
grounds or attributes is against the law under the Act:
¡¤ sex
¡¤ relationship status
¡¤ pregnancy
¡¤ parental status
¡¤ breastfeeding
¡¤ age
¡¤ race
¡¤ impairment
¡¤ religious belief or religious activity
¡¤ political belief or activity
¡¤ trade union activity
¡¤ lawful sexual activity
¡¤ gender identity
¡¤ sexuality
¡¤ family responsibilities
¡¤ association with someone with an attribute above
The successful achievement of a non-discriminatory
employment program requires a maximum of cooperation
between management and employees. To fulfil its part
in this cooperative effort, the Company management will
follow procedures and practices which will ensure the
objective; namely, equitable employment for all.
