Interpretation

The purpose of this measure is to provide context, and to ensure this commitment from employers does not fall over time.

Sub-outcome: 3.4 Gender equality, positive relationships, and positive masculinities are promoted across the community including in faith-based, sporting, entertainment, educational institutions, digital spaces, the arts, and media organisations

Indicator: Increased use of initiatives and activities to promote equality and safety in the community and in institutions

Baseline: 2022–23
