Minister to set gender equality targets and selection rules
17B Minister to set gender equality targets and selection rules
The Minister must, by legislative instrument:
set targets in relation to specified gender equality indicators and specified target cycles; and
specify rules for the selection of targets by designated relevant employers in specified target cycles.
The Minister must consult the Agency before making legislative instruments under this Act (see section 33A).
For specification by class, see subsection 13(3) of the Legislation Act 2003.
A target set by an instrument in force under subsection (1) is a gender equality target.
Rules specified in accordance with paragraph (1)(b) may (without limiting that paragraph) include rules that do any of the following:
provide for classes of targets;
require the selection of a specified number of targets;
require the selection of a specified number of targets of a specified class;
require a designated relevant employer to nominate the level of improvement against a specific target that is required for the employer to have met the target.
An instrument under subsection (1) has no effect in relation to a target cycle unless it is made before the first day of that cycle.
