good info Christine...........Right now anyone can recruit, but one day there will be a move to introduce licensing for recruitment companies. Before that happens, we need to be jumping up and down about this. There needs to be a rule.......that workplace diversity applies withing the agency. Some kind of enforced formula about the age of the employees is essential. Pressure should be put on the government to shun giving contracts to organisations that dont have a workplace diversity ethic. That's just for starters _________________________________________________________________ 10,000 children need sponsors ? change a life: http://ad.au.doubleclick.net/clk;9294008;9739733;y?http://www.worldvision.com.au/childsponsorship/search/child_search.asp?om=1 ************************************************** To post a message to austechwriter, send the message to austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe to austechwriter, send a message to austechwriter-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "subscribe" in the Subject field.
