Moreover, it highlights the essential role that the Commission plays in upholding the provisions of the Act and the ability of people to access the rights the Act affords them. This is essential to the development of a society that not only ensures that people have equality of access to fair treatment but that they enjoy equality of outcomes based on fair treatment.
In 2024-25 the Commission has again dedicated itself to supporting people and organisations in their pursuit of equality of access and outcomes. It has done this by continuing to deliver reliable, efficient and timely services that respond to the lived experience and needs of the people of Western Australia.
An essential element that makes it possible for the Commission to deliver such a service is the professional and careful work that is provided by staff in each section of the Commission. This is clearly illustrated throughout the sections of this Annual Report.
The Commission can best achieve satisfactory outcomes if complainants and respondents engage positively to resolve their matters in good faith. I offer my sincere thanks to those people who have engaged in our processes this year in such a manner.
Finally, I thank the dedicated staff at the Commission. The role of Commissioner for Equal Opportunity is supported by a staff who are keenly interested in equal opportunity and dedicated to ensuring that people can access it with empathy, impartiality, and integrity. The work done by each Officer of the Commission enables me, as Commissioner, to provide the people of Western Australia with good outcomes.
Dr John Byrne AM
Western Australian Commissioner for Equal Opportunity
