EEO is a positive way of describing the absence of discrimination and harassment in the workplace. It means that:

• Everyone should have fair and equitable access to jobs, employment conditions, training and promotional opportunities irrespective of gender, race, culture, religion, age, marital status and other grounds of discrimination prohibited by legislation
• Everyone has a fair chance to demonstrate their abilities, to use them, improve them and benefit from them
• Employment is based on merit. This means that the best person is chosen for the job, promotion or training opportunity and that they are selected only on criteria which are relevant.

FuturePeople Recruitment will not discriminate on the following grounds:

• Carer's responsibilities
• Gender (including pregnancy)
• Race, colour, ethnic or religious background, nationality, or marital status
• Disability (including past, present or future physical, intellectual or psychiatric disability, learning disorders or any organism capable of causing a disease - for example HIV)
• Sexual preference
• Age
• Transgender (that is, anyone who lives, has lived or wants to live as a member of the opposite gender to their birth)

It is against the law via the NSW Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 to discriminate or harass a job applicant; employee or candidate via the above means. Sexual harassment is also against the Sexual Discrimination Act 1984 (amended in 1992).

If discrimination or harassment is proven, disciplinary action will be taken including termination of employment.

FuturePeople Recruitment will take all steps required to ensure that no sexual, racial or other harassment occurs in the workplace.
