Equal Employment Opportunity

At VicHealth, we are committed to ensuring a workplace free of discrimination and harassment. This commitment is based, in part, on the need to ensure that our organisation complies with equal opportunity laws. We are also committed to providing a safe and pleasant working environment for all employees and encouraging good working relationships between employees.

VicHealth will endeavour to ensure that in the application of all company policies, practices and procedures, no discrimination takes place and that all employees enjoy equal access to opportunities within the organisation. The basis of employment decisions is the individual merit of employees. 

VicHealth will also endeavour to ensure that no sexual, racial or other harassment occurs in the workplace.
