(b) $3,500 has been paid to date; and $7,500 will be paid before 30-6-07 2. $3500 was for the Women and Leadership Conference. The $7500 (still to be acquitted, but allocated to WiSER) is towards Stage 2 of a multi disciplinary research project on Women's pay and conditions in an era of changing workplace regulation. · Stage 1: is a comprehensive "stock-take" analysis of available data to identify currently available indicators of women's pay and employment conditions and highlight gaps and areas in need of review. It was funded by the Federal Government through the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission (HREOC). · Stage 2: Interviews with 100 women across Australia to enhance our understanding how, if at all, the new legislative framework may affect their employment conditions. It is being funded by contributions of $15,000 from each of the five mainland States (where the research will be conducted). 3. $3500 was for the Women and Leadership Conference - Women's leadership is one of the Office for Women's Policy four key priority areas. $7500 towards the WiSER research - Women and economic independence is another of the Office for Women's Policy four key priority areas - changing workplace regulations potentially has great impacts upon the economic independence of women. 4. The Office for Women's Policy responded to a request for conference sponsorship. Whereas, the research proposal was part of an original tender from WiSER to HREOC, including both Stage 1 and Stage 2. However, the Federal Government subsequently withdrew funding for Stage 2 of this project. In order to complete this project, WiSER then submitted the proposal to the Office for Women's Policy to fund Stage 2. This research was then commissioned on the basis that it was consistent with one of the key policy objectives of the Office for Women's Policy and it also presented a unique opportunity to be involved in a collaborative research project upon a key area of Women's Policy including academics from Curtin University, RMIT, the University of South Australia, Sydney University and Queensland University.
