Statistics for EEO group members in the NSW Public Sector
The Office collects comprehensive EEO statistics from individual NSW Public Sector agencies. These are added together to give an EEO profile of the Public Sector workforce. The statistics show if particular EEO groups are getting jobs and promotions in proportion to their numbers in the NSW working age population. Changes in this profile over time are used to evaluate the progress of the EEO Program and to work out where more effort is needed.
EEO groups are people affected by past or continuing disadvantage or discrimination in employment. As a result they may be more likely to be unemployed or working in lower paid jobs. These groups are:
- women
- Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders
- members of racial, ethnic, and ethno-religious minority groups
- people with a disability.
