Policy statement

The OPC wishes to provide an effective process for the identification of elimination of all aspects of polices, procedures and other institutional barriers that that cause or perpetuate inequality in respect of any persons or groups of persons.

Objective

OPC will provide employees with equality of opportunity in the workplace (e.g. in access to, consideration for, and encouragement in recruitment, selection, promotion, conditions of employment, training and career development) regardless of differences among our staff (race, colour, ethnic or national origin, sexual orientation, martial status, disability, sexual orientation, ethical belief, ages, family status, political opinion or religion) and will aim to at all times treat diversity as an asset to the organisation.
