4. ACTIONS TAKEN - 1 April 2006 to 31 March 2007
1. Recruitment and Selection
• Developed and launched a new E-recruitment system which allows for greatly improved
recruitment data gathering and analysis.
• Included wording on advertisements for Professorial vacancies encouraging applications from
women.
2. Promotion, Transfer and Termination
Developed and launched the ‘Mentoring for Success’ Pilot Program directed at female staff at
Academic Levels B and C. Women at these levels were surveyed about attitudes to making
applications for promotion and about what range of mentoring support would be useful. A register of
mentors was established and a six-session program was commenced focussing on supporting those
wishing to apply for promotion.
•
3. Training and Development
• Progressed the development of a leadership for program for female staff through consultations
with female staff across the University; establishment of a Steering Group; appointment of a
consultant – with the aim to commence the program in mid-2007.
• Through the Early Career Researcher Development Program, continued to offer research
development to female Academic Staff who are in the early stages of their research careers eg
through being newly appointed, having just completed doctorates, having had an interrupted
career, or through difficulties in pursuing research interests,.
4. Work Organisation
• On a one-to-one basis, assisted managers with staff returning from Maternity Leave to
understand and implement University expectations on enabling return to the incumbent’s
position on a part-time basis.
• Commenced work on a “Job Share/Job Split/Job Support toolkit” to provide guidelines and
case studies to assist managers and staff in better utilising these work arrangements,
particularly for staff returning from Maternity Leave at a reduced fraction.
5. Conditions of Service
• Made improved conditions of service already available to staff on AWAs, available to more
staff through a Collective Agreement - including increasing paid Maternity Leave and improved
return to work provisions (see part 7 below); increasing paid Adoption Leave to 14 weeks;
strengthening the expectation of approval of an additional year of unpaid leave, and
strengthening return to work expectations to return to their existing position and to a reduced
fraction until the child reaches school age, if desired; increasing paid partner leave from 5 to
10 days and making this leave available to female partners; introducing 2-3 weeks paid Foster
Parent Leave; increasing the amount of leave available for Personal and Carer’s Leave and
extending use of this leave from care for sick family members to a wide range of
circumstances relating to the personal lives of staff.
• Continued to monitor use of conditions that aim to enable staff to balance work and family
responsibilities.
• Whilst there is an increased use of AWAs at the University, at this stage no analysis has been
undertaken from a gender perspective, given the limited amount of variation/negotiation in the
agreements to date. This will be monitored over the coming year.

5. EVALUATION OF ACTIONS TAKEN – 1 April 2006 to 31 March 2007
Data on the University’s workplace profile 1 April 2006 to 31 March 2007 and other relevant data was
collected and analysed, and compared to previous years’ data. This data is presented in Tables 1 to
19. Drawing on this analysis, the following is an evaluation of the actions undertaken during the
reporting period 1 April 2006 to 31 March 2007 and an identification of issues for the next reporting
period 1 April 2007 to 31 March 2008.
Staff Profile – Overview as at 31 March 2007 compared to 31 March 2006
Overall, there was a continued rise in the number of University staff, the number of female staff and
the proportion of female staff.
General Staff (see Tables 1 and 2)
The overall representation of women in HEW levels 9 and above dropped from 43% in 2006 to 35%
(compared to 33% in 2005). The percentage changes for each level in this range between 2002 and
2007 were: HEW 9 - 38% to 46% (after a rise to 50% in 2006); HEW 10 - 33% to 40% (after a rise to
67% in 2006); HEW 11 and above - 27% to 25% (after a rise to 33% in 2006). Some care is
necessary in interpreting these figures given low numbers at these levels. The proportion of women
at HEW Level 8 rose from 43% in 2006 and 2005 to 54% (having risen from 33% in 2002).
The representation of women a HEW 1-7 levels dropped slightly from 73% to 72%
Overall, the representation of female General Staff dropped slightly from 69% to 68%
Academic Staff (see Tables 3 and 4)
The representation of women at Academic Levels D, E and Above E rose from 24% to 33%.
Representation at Level D rose from 31% to 42%; Level E rose from 19% to 31%, and Above Level E
remained at 0%. Again, it should be noted that there are low numbers at these levels.
At Academic Level C, female representation dropped from 40% to 36%, Level B rose from 43% to
49%, and Level A rose slightly from 68% to 69%.
Overall, the representation of female Academics rose from 45% to 47%.
TAFE Teaching Staff (see Tables 5 and 6)
The proportion of women in managerial positions (SE2 and above) continued to drop; from 43% in
2006 and 56% in 2005, to 41%. However, representation at SE2 remained steady at 47% after a
drop from 62% in 2005.
At SE1 level, representation dropped from 62% to 52%; at AST level it remained steady at 25%, and
at T1-T4 levels representation rose slightly from 37% to 38%.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A PUBLIC DOCUMENT AND THEREFORE WILL BE PUBLISHED ON EOWA’S WEBSITE
Page 4
University of Ballarat
Public Report to EOWA
Reporting Period 1 April 2006 to 31 March 2007
Overall, the representation of female TAFE Teachers continued to decline, from 40% in 2006 (47% in
2004) to 39%.
2. Recruitment and Selection
• Increased attention on encouraging applications from women for senior academic positions
saw an increase in application and success rates. Of the 6 Level E positions recruited 50%
were female (with women representing 53% of applicants). This contributed to the rise in
representation of women at Level E from 19% in 2006 to 31%.
• Due to the implementation of the new e-recruitment system during this reporting period,
comprehensive recruitment data is not included in this report due to difficulties in combining
data from the old and new systems.
3. Promotion, Transfer and Termination
• The 2006 Academic promotion round saw a return to higher success rates for female staff after
a sharp drop in 2005. The application rate for females was higher than males to Levels B, C
and D, and overall the female success rate was higher (female 70% and male 50%). Of the 9
women and 5 men seeking promotion, 7 women and 3 men were successful. This round saw
the first female applications to Level D since 2003, with a 50% success rate, contributing to the
overall rise in representation of women at Level D (from 31% in 2006 42%). There continued to
be no female applications for Level E promotion. (see Table7)
• Whilst the overall number of General Staff seeking reclassification dropped (from 26 to 12),
78% of successful applicants were women. The female success rate dropped slightly from
85% in 2006 to 78% but was higher than the male success rate (67%). At the point where
female over-representation (72% at HEW 7 and below) changes to under-representation (45%
at HEW 8 and above) there were 4 female applications, 3 successful, from HEW Level 7 to 8,
contributing to the overall increase in female representation at HEW 8 from 43% to 54%. (see
Tables 8, 9 and 10)
• Overall there was a small increase in separations, with a total of 131 staff separating,
compared to 124 in the previous year, and 84 and 75 in the two preceding years. The
representation of women amongst staff separating from the University dropped to 59%
compared to 62%, 58% and 63% in the previous reporting periods, which is only slightly higher
than their overall representation rate in the University workforce (56%). With General Staff, the
female separation rate rose to 75% of separations and 80% of resignations, which remained
higher than the overall 68% female representation rate. With Academic Staff, female separation
rates rose to 35% of separations and 39% of resignations, which remained lower than the
overall 47% representation rate. With TAFE Teaching Staff, female separation rates dropped
to 38% of separations and 41% of resignations (compared to 48% and 50% last year), which is
close to the overall 39% representation rate. No analysis is done as yet on the reasons for staff
resignations. (see Tables 11, 12 and 13)
4. Training and Development
•
The Early Career Researcher Development Program continues to build upon the positive evaluations
of previous years, and is an important development program for female Academics wanting to gain
the skills and strategic knowledge needed to become active researchers. In 2006 the participation of
women continued to be strong, with 9 of the 15 participants being women. Of these, one has since
gained promotion to Level C. In 2005, 10 of the 13 participants were women, one of whom since
gained promotion to Level C and 2 to Level B. In 2004, 4 of the 11 participants were women, two of
whom since gained promotion to Level C.
5. Work Organisation
• Early data analysis indicates an increase in uptake of reduced fraction by women on return
from Maternity Leave. Of the 10 women who returned after leave which commenced in
2003/04, 40% reduced their time fraction on return. Of the 16 women who returned to
permanent/contract work after leave which commenced in 2004/05, 56% reduced their time
fraction. Of the 15 women who returned after leave which commenced in 2005/06, 64%
reduced their time fraction. It is too early to get the full picture for 2006/07, as a large number
are still on Maternity Leave. However, of the 7 who have returned, 6 reduced their time
fraction (80%). This would indicate an increased awareness amongst staff and managers of
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A PUBLIC DOCUMENT AND THEREFORE WILL BE PUBLISHED ON EOWA’S WEBSITE
Page 5
University of Ballarat
Public Report to EOWA
Reporting Period 1 April 2006 to 31 March 2007
the expectation of the University that staff be enabled to access flexible arrangements if they
desire. (see Table 14)
• The use of extended leave options afforded under 48/52 and related arrangements has
continued to rise gradually. In this reporting period 15 women and 4 men used these options
(compared to 14:2 last year). (see Table 15)
• The number of staff using the option to convert to part-time from full-time work dropped from 40
to 28, with 21 of these being women (75%). No research has been undertaken as yet into
reasons for neither conversion nor duration of conversion; however one main reason appears
to be for parenting purposes for women returning from Maternity Leave. Additionally, this data
does not fully capture staff changes in fraction, as it does not reflect reduction in fraction of
those already part-time. (see Table 16)
6. Conditions of Service
• Through a staff Collective Agreement, the amount of leave available for Personal and Carer’s
Leave was increased for staff not on AWAs (the increase already being available to staff on
AWAs); increasing and extending use of this leave from care for sick family members to a wide
range of circumstances relating to the personal lives of staff. Due to recording changes, the
data for this period may not reflect all use of such leave, as the data shows a drop in the
number of staff utilising such leave to 58 from 88 in the last year and 111 staff in the year
before that. The proportion of women using this form of leave continued to drop, to 67%
compared to 72%, 74% and 78% in the preceding 3 years, although still remaining above the
representation of women in the workforce (56%). The drop in apparent use will be monitored
as it was thought that use would increase with the increase in reasons for which such leave
could be taken and the removal of the requirement for a medical certificate for only one day’s
absence in the case of an ill family member. (see Table 17)
• There has been an increased use of AWAs at the University, and the uptake is higher amongst
females (61% of AWAs are held by women). At this stage no analysis has been undertaken
from a gender perspective, given the limited amount of variation/negotiation in the agreements
to date. This will be monitored over the coming year.
7. Dealing with Sex-based Harassment
• One complaint of sexual or sex-based harassment involving staff was dealt with under the
University’s formal procedures, in the reporting period. Two relevant concerns about behaviour
were brought to the Equal Opportunity Manager and were either dealt with by the person
themself, or informally through a Manager.
• The revision of University Harassment Policy and Harassment Complaint Procedure and
appointment 25 new Harassment Contact Officers was aimed at further improving the ability of
staff to resolve concerns effectively. Further awareness activity is planned for 2007 in addition
to on-going initiatives.
8. Dealing with Pregnant and Potentially Pregnant Employees and Employees who are
Breastfeeding
• Whilst still much higher than the average of 13 over the 2000 to 2004 period, there was a slight
decrease in the number of women taking Maternity Leave in the reporting period; 17 compared
to 19 last year and 21 in the year before. To provide a basis for comparison, rudimentary
analysis was undertaken on retention of staff commencing Maternity Leave in the years 2000 to
2004, which showed a ‘loss’ of approximately 14%. This rate rose for staff commencing
Maternity Leave in 2004/05, with 4 resigning at the end of Maternity/related Leave (19%) and
dropped to 16% for staff commencing Maternity Leave in 2005/06, with 3 resigning at the end
of Maternity/related Leave. No research has been done on reasons for resignation, but
anecdotally we understand that some of the women are choosing not to work at all at this time.
(see Table 14)
• Early indications are that the aim to encourage return to work through the ability to return parttime is being achieved, and that this is a popular option. The proportion of women reducing
their time fraction upon return increased from 40% in 2003/04 to 56% in 2004/05 and 64% in
2005/06. A preliminary analysis of the 2006/07 data indicates one woman leaving at the end of
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A PUBLIC DOCUMENT AND THEREFORE WILL BE PUBLISHED ON EOWA’S WEBSITE

Public Report to EOWA
Reporting Period 1 April 2006 to 31 March 2007
Maternity Leave and six reducing their time fraction on return from leave (80%). However, 9
staff members are still on Maternity Leave/related Leave. (see Table 14)
•
Feedback on the initiatives of the Work/Family Balance project has continued to be positive.
Both managers and staff have provided positive feedback on the Maternity Leave Toolkit.
9. Other
•
Continued focus on gender composition on major Decision-making Committees/ Groups has
seen a relatively steady picture, which will continue to be monitored. Female representation
on the University’s Council rose to 58% compared to 55% last year and 48% the year before
(noting 3 vacancies at the time of data gathering). Female representation on Council’s
Standing Committees is generally lower, with the average female representation remaining
steady at 36%. The representation of women on Buildings and Infrastructure Committee
remained at 20%. Female representation on Academic Board dropped to 45% from 52%
(noting 2 vacancies).
•
Data analysis of the honorary appointments made by Council continues to be undertaken given
the gravity and modelling of these appointments. These fall into 3 categories, with differing
levels of female representation: Emeritus Professors (no female); Honorary Doctorates (rose
to 24% from 20% female) and Fellows of the University (remained 11% female). Over all, 48
honorary appointments have been made, 8 to women (17%). In the reporting period, of the 7
Honorary Doctorate appointments, 2 were to women and 5 to men. The one Emeritus
Professor appointment was male.

6. FUTURE ACTIONS – for 1 April 2007 to 31 March 2008
1. Recruitment and Selection
• Undertake detailed recruitment data analysis on application and success rates by gender.
• Continue to include wording on advertisements for Academic Level E positions encouraging
women to apply.
2. Promotion, Transfer and Termination
• Complete and evaluate the pilot academic mentoring program in order to consider future programs.
3. Training and Development
• Implement and evaluate a pilot Women in Leadership program, open to all continuing/fixedterm female staff.
• Investigate the establishment of a University Institute of Professional and Organisational
Development, which would provide (amongst other goals) greater focus on and coordination of
training and development activity.
• Implement a new on-line training program for all staff focussing on equal opportunity,
discrimination and harassment.
4. Work Organisation
• Develop a 3 rd toolkit under the Work/Family/Personal Life Balance program focussing on job
share, job support, job split options for staff who wish to reduce their fraction. This will provide
guidelines and case studies to assist managers and staff to further utilise these work
arrangements, particularly for staff returning from Maternity Leave at a reduced fraction.
5. Conditions of Service
• Given the widespread introduction of AWAs within the University, and the higher proportion of
women who are employed under AWAs, no system is yet in place to monitor the positive or
negative impact on women. Human Resources staff will consider the nature of the statistics
which can be collected and monitored in this regard.
6. Dealing with Sex-based Harassment
• Review the University’s Equal Opportunity Policy.
• Develop a new poster campaign on harassment and widely publicise the new Harassment
Contact Officer network.
7.
•
Dealing with Pregnant and Potentially Pregnant Employees and Employees who are
Breastfeeding
Increase focus on information provisions to staff and their managers once the staff member
has applied for Maternity Leave – with a focus on the Maternity Leave toolkit, return to work
options and expectations, and the upcoming Job Share/Job Split/Job Support Toolkit.
8. Other
• Conduct a Staff Climate Survey, which will provide information on many of the above areas,
including work and family balance, harassment, equal opportunity for women, workloads,
training and development.
• Continue to monitor gender composition of major University decision-making or promotionenhancing committees and gender data on honorary appointments made by University
Council.
