Equal Opportunity In The Workplace

Smarter Connections is committed to providing a workplace that is free from harassment, discrimination and bullying. This responsibility is at the heart of the values of the organisation; it reflects how people should treat each other through building relationships based on trust, respect and safety.

Smarter Connections considers all types of harassment, discrimination, bullying and workplace violence to be unacceptable forms of behaviours that will not be tolerated under any circumstances. 

Smarter Connections believes all staff and clients should be treated with respect, fairly and in a reasonable way. Harassment, discrimination, bullying and workplace violence are illegal under a range of Federal and State legislation. 

If any staff breaches this policy it will result in disciplinary action which may include termination of employment. It is the responsibility of all staff to act in such a way as to create a working environment which is free of any form of discrimination or harassment. 

Smarter Connections’s commitment to equity accords with the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cwlth), Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cwlth), Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cwlth), Age Discrimination Act 2004 (Cwlth), and the Australian Human Rights Commission Act 1986 (Cth).
