Equity & Diversity Annual Report – 2018 Appendices

Diversity and Inclusion Council Terms of Reference

The role of the Diversity and Inclusion Council (the Council) is to assist the Reserve Bank of Australia (the Bank) to achieve its aims relating to diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

The Diversity and Inclusion Council will:

  • provide centralised oversight of the ERGs. In this way we can ensure that ERG work is coordinated with other initiatives (either within the ERG network or with HR) while also providing the groups with an opportunity to share their ideas and experiences
  • enable ERGs to report on their plans and the progress they are making, and to allocate funding (from HR's budget) for activities sponsored by ERGs
  • make recommendations to the Executive Committee on diversity and inclusion principles and policy
  • suggest priorities for, and monitor the implementation of, the Bank's diversity and inclusion program
  • monitor and report periodically to the Governor and the Executive Committee on these matters.

Membership as at 30 June 2018

The Council has the following members:

  • Chairperson – Deputy Governor
  • Head of Human Resources
  • Secretary – Senior Consultant, Diversity & Inclusion, Human Resources
  • External Representative – Julie McKay, Partner, Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, PWC
  • Executive Sponsors and Chairs of Employee Resource Groups
    1. LGBTI+ Allies – Luci Ellis (Sponsor) and Chris Thompson (Chair)
    2. Race & Cultural Identity – Chris Aylmer (Sponsor) and Gayan Benedict (Chair)
    3. Indigenous Australians – Lindsay Boulton (Chair) and Megan Garner (Chair)
    4. Flexibility – Michelle McPhee (Sponsor) and Deborah Harvey (Chair)
    5. Accessibility – Michele Bullock (Sponsor) and Katie Sherman (Chair)
    6. Gender Equity – Alex Heath (Sponsor) and Daniel Pavlik (Chair)

Membership includes some representation from the various diversity groups as set out in the Equal Employment Opportunity (Commonwealth Authorities) Act 1987.

Membership will be for a period of two years for all positions, with the exception of ex-officio positions.

Meetings

The Committee will meet four times each year. Employee Resource Groups meet monthly (at a minimum).
