EQUITY & DIVERSITY ANNUAL REPORT – 2006

Contents

Appendix 4.3: Statistical Data

Collection of Statistics

Section 6 of the Equal Employment Opportunity (Commonwealth Authorities) Act 1987 requires the collection of statistics on the following designated groups: women, people from non-English speaking backgrounds, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and people with disabilities. The RBA collects the following statistics by designated group:

  • Representation within Salary Ranges (See 4.3.1)
  • Representation within Classification Levels (See 4.3.2)
  • Representation within Occupational Groups (See 4.3.3)
  • Recruitment (See 4.3.4)
  • Promotions (See 4.3.5)
  • Resignations (See 4.3.6)
  • Retirements (See 4.3.7)
  • Non Contractor Salary Range
  • Contractor: Salary Ranges, Location, Occupational Group
  • Rehired Recruitment Numbers
  • Staff Numbers: by Age Distribution, by Length of Service

In addition, statistics are also collected on: transfers; training; presentations at conferences; study; composition of selection panels; parental leave (including resumptions, resignations, hours of work); carer’s leave; and part-time work. Where available, these statistics are also presented by designated group to assist in the analysis of equity and diversity policies and practices.

ASCO codes

All positions in the RBA have been assigned an ASCO code, the standard developed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The assigned ASCO code is based on the skill/knowledge requirements of the job. There are eight groupings at the RBA, these will be reviewed in the next reporting period.
