Access & Equity

Access and equity policies are incorporated into all operational procedures. Oz Skills prohibits discrimination towards any group or individual in any form, inclusive of:

Our training programs are designed and wherever possible facilities are set up to enhance flexibility of delivery in order to maximise the opportunity for access and participation by all students. We do this by:

• Promoting access to training for all people regardless of gender, socio- economic background, disability, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, age or race.

• Ensuring training services are delivered in a non-dixascriminatory, open and respectful manner.

• Training all staff members so that they are appropriately skilled in access and equity issues.

• Providing reasonable access to learners of all levels.

• Conducting student selection for training opportunities in a manner that includes and reflects the diverse student population.

• Actively encouraging the participation of students from traditionally disadvantaged groups and specifically offering assistance to those most disadvantaged.
