At WesCEF our goal is to foster an inclusive workplace environment where everyone feels respected, included and valued so we can all perform at our best.
Our greatest asset is our people
Having a diverse workforce at WesCEF provides us with a rich canvass of thoughts, ideas, experiences and backgrounds. It’s these differences that will drive our future success.
For us, inclusion means that everyone has access to equitable opportunities and resources and feels able to fully contribute.
How we’re building an inclusive work environment:
-
Gender Equality
Gender equality is a core strategic pillar at WesCEF.
Gender diversity and pay equity are key priorities, since 2010 WesCEF has conducted annual pay equity reviews and has set a gender balance target of 40% males and females across the organisation.
Various practices are in place across all stages of the employee lifecycle to improve the gender diversity of our workforce, leadership teams and talent pipelines such as inclusive recruitment practices, targeted learning and development opportunities, flexible work practices, and support for carers and parents.

Public Holiday Substitution
WesCEF acknowledges the rich cultural and religious diversity of our workforce, and offers the opportunity to substitute one Public Holiday per calendar year.
-
Flexible Working
Flexibility comes in many shapes and forms and will mean different things to different people.
WesCEF’s has a Flexible Work policy, and our approach to working flexibly supports a variety of opportunities including remote work and work from home, part-time work, job sharing, flexible leave (including employee-purchased leave).
-
Parental Leave and Carers Leave
WesCEF offers competitive paid parental leave, which includes the payment of superannuation for paid and unpaid components of parental leave, and a return to work bonus for primary carers.
Employees with parenting or other caring responsibilities can also purchase up to four weeks of leave per calendar year.
