How much do you think age influences your opportunities at work?

Well, a new report, Age, Assumptions and Access at Work, from Diversity Council Australia and Australian Human Rights Commission highlights the significant role age-based assumptions continue to play in Australian workplaces. Drawing on the experiences of 3,000 workers, the report exposes how your age can shape access to opportunities, inclusion and career development.

Importantly, the report’s findings challenge the perception that age discrimination only affects older workers. Instead, it reveals that people can experience age-related disadvantage at different stages of their working lives, and often in very different ways.

The Equal Opportunity Commission is proud to be participating in the NAIDOC festivals in Armadale (pictured), Mirrabooka and Northam throughout NAIDOC Week 2026.

NAIDOC Week is an opportunity to recognise the enduring strength, leadership and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and to reaffirm our shared commitment to equality of opportunity and equality of outcomes for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.

Each year, NAIDOC Week provides an opportunity for Australians to celebrate the histories, cultures and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, to listen to the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, and to recognise their enduring contribution to our communities and nation. This year's theme, 50 Years of Deadly, marks five decades of NAIDOC Week and celebrates the strength, leadership, resilience, survival and cultural richness that have shaped the movement since its beginnings.

The Equal Opportunity Commission invites the community to pause this National Reconciliation Week and reflect on what it means to be “all in” for respect, fairness and inclusion.

Each year from 27 May to 3 June, Australians mark National Reconciliation Week. This week reflects significant moments in our shared history, beginning on the anniversary of the 1967 referendum and concluding on the anniversary of the High Court’s Mabo decision.

National Reconciliation Week is a time to learn about our shared histories, cultures and achievements, and to consider how each of us contributes to reconciliation in our everyday lives. It also invites us to reflect on progresses made, how change is shaped by collective effort, and how equality is experienced in practice.

Today we acknowledge the Stolen Generations and the ongoing impact of forced removal on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Sorry matters. Action matters more.

Turning words into action means addressing the discrimination and racism that continue to shape lived experience. In Western Australia, the Equal Opportunity Act protects against racial discrimination and harassment.

Our role is to ensure these protections are lived, not just written.

What does it mean to feel safe to be yourself at work, in education, and in public life? IDAHOBIT invites us to reflect.

Each year on 17 May, communities across Western Australia and around the world mark IDAHOBIT, the International Day Against LGBTQIA+ Discrimination.

This date reflects a significant global turning point. On 17 May 1990, the World Health Organization removed homosexuality from its list of mental disorders. It was a recognition of a simple but important truth: diversity in sexual orientation is not a flaw or illness. Discrimination, not sexual orientation, is the source of harm.

More than thirty years on, IDAHOBIT remains an important moment for reflection.

The Equal Opportunity Commission recognises that Mother’s Day may be experienced in many different ways across our diverse community. For some, it is a time of celebration and connection. For others, it may bring reflection, grief, loss, longing, or mixed emotions. Experiences of motherhood, caregiving, family, culture, identity, and relationships are deeply personal and diverse, and we acknowledge these varied experiences with care, respect, and inclusion.

Mother’s Day is an opportunity to honour mothers and mother figures by recognising the diversity of motherhood and the many attributes, identities and lived experiences that interconnect to shape it.
