Aims and Purpose

Monash University is committed to providing an environment for students and staff that is free from all forms of unlawful discrimination and sexual harassment. This EO Online Training is based on Australian legislation and provides information on basic rights and responsibilities for staff based on these laws. It has been designed as an introduction to equal opportunity at Monash for new staff and to provide ongoing staff with an opportunity to update their knowledge on a regular basis.

As an International university Monash has in place a Global Equal Opportunity Policy which highlights the importance of recognising other jurisdictions and their legislative requirements. Staff from International campuses are invited to familiarise themselves with this policy and are welcome to contact the Equity and Diversity Centre (EDC ) for information on how it might apply locally.

EO Online Training is a prerequisite for face-to-face training offered by the Equity and Diversity Centre. Face-to-face training is provided for any staff wanting greater familiarity with the University's policies and procedures and the development of specific skills for dealing with, responding to and managing equal opportunity related grievances.

Structure

EO Online Training should take around 60 minutes. The training consists of four modules and three quizzes.

• Legal Overview (followed by a quiz);
• Sexual Harassment and the Law (followed by a quiz);
• Staff and Student Equity, and
• Disability Law and Access (followed by a quiz).

These modules can be undertaken in any order at any time. A perfect score on all three quizzes is required to successfully complete the EO Online Training. There is no time limit for completion of quizzes or to the number of times a quiz can be attempted.
