The revised Gender Equity Framework was adopted by Council at the meeting on 22 February 2022.

The updated Framework can be found on the Monash Council Website.

Details of the results of consultation and Council decision are here.

Council's previous Gender Equity Strategy 2015 - 2020 has been reviewed. The updated strategy provides a policy statement and strategic direction to ensure we are meeting our obligations both to community, and under the Gender Equality Act 2020 to promote gender equality.

The Gender Equity Framework will benefit the community by ensuring that Council’s strong commitment to gender equity is maintained and built upon. It aims to ensure that everyone can have full access to community life and assist in addressing primary prevention of violence against women and family violence. It provides a list of key recommendations for Council, including the priority settings in which we will focus our work.
