Aged care providers now employers of choice for women

Aged care providers are well represented on the list of  Australia’s top 111 employers of choice for women.

Half a dozen provider organisations were recognised in the federal government’s Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency’s (EOWA) annual commendation.

To be recognised as an employer of choice for women, organisations must meet a set of stringent outcomes in their workplace policies and practices.

Among the standout achievers was Victorian not-for-profit group Benetas which made the list for the fourth year running.

Mercy Health was recognised as an employer of choice for women for the second year in a row and its chief executive officer (CEO), John Ballard was named the Leading CEO for the Advancement of Women.

The Acting Director of EOWA, Mairi Steele praised the organisations that made the list.

“We don’t claim that they are perfect, but they are certainly leading the way,” she said.

“This list provides women with a guide to organisations showing a real commitment to creating fair workplaces and to achieving genuine results for working women.”

Other aged care providers on the list include Baptist Community Services – NSW & ACT, Catholic Care of the Aged, Fullarton Lutheran Homes and Warrigal Care.
