In line with the Gender Equality Act (2020) (The Act) the VFA submitted its second progress report to the Commission for Gender Equality in the Public Sector (The Commission) covering the reporting period 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2025.
It shows our progress over the second two years of the implementation of VFA’s Gender Equality Action Plan (GEAP) 2021 – 2025 which helps us achieve our vision for gender equality and in the process achieve greater innovation, a broader perspective, and better reflect the Victorian community.
