Gender Equality at Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF)
We are the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment. We protect Australia’s natural resources and develop strong agricultural industries.
We (the department) are committed to embedding gender equality into our culture. Gender equality means considering, valuing and favouring the different behaviour, aspirations and needs of all genders equally.
The Inclusion Strategy 2021-2024 outlines how we will foster inclusion in the workplace. The strategy contains a Gender Equity Action Plan. The Action Plan shows how we will:
- Commit to a gender-inclusive and equitable workplace, remove practices that hinder this goal, and
- Create a culture that encourages and enables all employees to thrive, regardless of gender.
Gender Equity Network
The Gender Equity Network (GEN) provides an opportunity for members to meet, discuss and address issues in the workplace that advance gender equality in the department.
