First post

This is the first post on a blog that I have created as part of an assignment for a tafe course that I am studying. The subject is "Women and the Internet" and is part of a "Women's Education " course that is provided at Tea Tree Gully Tafe to help women that have been out of the work force for a while gain the skills to re-enter the workforce.

Listed below are some interesting websites that I have looked at.

http://www.eoc.sa.gov.au/ Equal Opportunity Commission

Equal opportunity means giving everybody a fair go in public life.
It is unlawful under the Equal Opportunity Act (SA), 1984 for anyone to be treated unfairly on the basis of:
disability
race
age
sex
sexuality
pregnancy
marital status.

The Act also makes unlawful:
sexual harassment
victimisation.

This site has information concerning equal opportunities for individuals, schools and businesses.
topics covered include : Discrimination laws, how to make complaints and policies.
It also has useful information on training, staffing, fun and serious sections as well as links to related sites.
