Equal Opportunity Amendment Regulations 1990

Delegated Legislation Joint Committee (1987 - 2001)· 1 December 1990general_report

The Delegated Legislation Joint Committee reviewed the Equal Opportunity Amendment Regulations 1990, which formalised annual reporting procedures under the Equal Opportunity Act 1984. Local authorities raised concerns about the burden and potential misuse of the required statistics. The Committee found the regulation within its terms of reference but recommended further consultation to address local authorities' concerns.

Impact

Local authorities are affected by the reporting requirements. The Directorate of Equal Opportunity in Public Employment is responsible for implementing and overseeing the regulations. The WA Parliament is to be informed of the consultation outcomes.
