2010 National Awards for Local Government
Council Business Best Practice: Women in Local Government
In June 2010, the Shire was very proud to be recognised for its Women in Leadership Program by the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government as the Category Winner for Women in Local Government for a small council.
The National Awards for Local Government recognise, reward and promote the innovative work of local governments across Australia and showcase unique local solutions to common problems.
We support an inclusive workplace where employee differences in areas like gender, age, culture, disability and lifestyle choice are valued.
Workplace diversity is not just about doing the right thing; it's about valuing and leveraging people's unique attributes. We want to create a level playing field so that every employee can fully contribute and achieve.
A key component of a diverse workforce is enabling our females to fully contribute, achieve outstanding business results and build successful careers within our organisation.
Our aim is to be a better local government through increased numbers of women in executive decision making positions. This will be achieved through attracting, developing, promoting and retaining senior women.
