Workplace Diversity in the Department
The department is committed to maintaining a culture that supports the principles of workplace diversity. It aims to ensure that all applicants are treated fairly and have equal access to employment opportunities. Applicants who are Aboriginals or Torres Strait Islanders, come from diverse cultural or linguistic backgrounds or have a disability are encouraged to identify these qualities in their application.
Reconciliation Action Plan
In support of our workplace diversity programme PM&C launched its Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) in May 2007. The RAP outlines how the department will conduct its activities to promote the interests of Indigenous Australians.
Our Approach to Reconciliation
PM&C is working towards reducing Indigenous disadvantage and improving the life chances of Indigenous Australians. A key objective of PM&C is to use our strategic position to promote a whole-of–government collaboration within the Commonwealth, focussing on the coordination of Indigenous policy and the delivery of programmes to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
PM&C will use the RAP to measure its success in promoting and achieving reconciliation. We will ensure that the way we do business respects and promotes the interests of Indigenous Australians.
Administering our Action Plan
Our staff will play an important role in implementing and monitoring this plan, working towards achieving the objectives for the whole department.
Our Corporate Leadership Group (CLG), chaired by the Secretary, will receive twice yearly reports on the integration of the initiatives under the RAP.
PM&C will maintain the RAP on the department’s web site and will report annually on implementation.
