Gender Equality Action Plan
Frankston City Council has cemented its commitment to progress gender equality in the workplace with the launch of its Gender Equality Action Plan, 2021-25. The Plan sets out our vision, objectives and actions to ensure Council is working to exceed its obligations under the Gender Equality Act 2020, to promote gender equality in the workplace.
Council recognises the importance of improving the experiences of people working at Frankston City Council to business outcomes and the flow on to our community.
Frankston City Council is striving to develop a culture where all staff can have an equal lived experience. Where gender, age, ethnicity, disability, being of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background, and more are not barriers to recruitment, promotion, access to learning and development and employment conditions. We aim to create a culture where all staff are valued for their unique differences and where bullying and sexual harassment are eliminated.
