Equity & Diversity Annual Report – 2019 Appendices

Diversity and Inclusion Council Terms of Reference

The role of the Diversity and Inclusion Council (the Council) is to assist the Reserve Bank of Australia (the Bank) to achieve its aims relating to diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

The Diversity and Inclusion Council will;

  • provide centralised oversight of the ERGs. In this way we can ensure that ERG work is coordinated with other initiatives (either within the ERG network or with HR) while also providing the groups with an opportunity to share their ideas and experiences
  • enable ERGs to report on their plans and the progress they are making, and to allocate funding (from HR's budget) for activities sponsored by ERGs
  • make recommendations to the Executive Committee on diversity and inclusion principles and policy
  • suggest priorities for, and monitor the implementation of, the Bank's diversity and inclusion program
  • monitor and report periodically to the Governor and the Executive Committee on these matters.

Membership as at 30 June 2019

The Council has the following members:

  • Chairperson – Deputy Governor Guy Debelle
  • Head of Human Resources – Michael Andersen
  • Secretary – Senior Consultant, Diversity & Inclusion – Phillip Pascoe-Thomas
  • External Representative – Julie McKay, Partner, Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, PwC
