However, it maintained two reservations. One reservation supported the exclusion of women from combat related duties and combat duties. This reservation was reflected in domestic law in an exemption granted to the ADF under the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 that nothing in that Act rendered it unlawful to discriminate against a woman on the grounds of gender in relation to combat related duties and combat duties:116 Combat duties were defined as duties requiring a person to commit, or to participate directly in the commission of, an act of violence against an adversary in time of war.117 A Defence Instruction further defines direct combat duties as including duties exposing a person to a high probability of direct physical contact with an armed adversary.118 Combat related duties were defined as duties requiring a person to work in support of, and in close proximity to, a person performing combat duties, in circumstances in which the person may be killed or injured by an act of violence by an adversary.119 From the 1990s onwards, the policy gradually shifted so that women could serve in all units except direct combat units and were no longer precluded from combat related positions. In 2000, Australia withdrew part of its CEDAW reservation, so that discrimination against women was only allowed in relation to employment in combat duties. The ADF policy reflecting this is set out in Defence Instruction DI(G) Pers 32-1 Employment of Women in the Australian Defence Force:120 ADF Policy 3. The ADF policy on the employment of Service members is to provide equality of opportunity consistent with operational effectiveness. Men and women can compete equally for all employment except those involving Direct Combat Duties. 5. The Direct Combat exclusion precludes the employment of women from the following types of units/positions, and a. Navy. Clearance diving teams (OBERON Class submarines are currently excluded because of accommodation limitations) b. Army. Armour, artillery, combat engineers and infantry c. Air Force. Airfield Defence Guards and Ground Defence Officers. 6. When initiating posting action cognizance must also be taken of employment categories that may have thepotential for exposure to embryo toxic substances. In 2005, this policy was further altered to allow employment of women in support roles in infantry, armoured and artillery units. Defence have advised that Paragraph 5b of the policy above is obsolete, and the Instruction itself will be reviewed and changed in light of the removal of gender restrictions.121 Current impact of restrictions on women As at 31 December 2011: Within Air Force, out of 130 categories: 127 categories are open to both men and women (97.6%), however only 97 categories have female members (76.4%) The positions from which women are currently restricted are Airfield Defence Guard and Ground Defence Officer.122 Within Army, out of 185 categories: 158 categories are open to both men and women (85.4%), however only 119 categories have female members (75.3%) The roles from which women are currently restricted are: in Artillery (Gunner, Light Gunner, Observer), in Armoured Corps (Cavalry, Light Cavalry, Tank Crewman), in Infantry (Rifleman, Patrolman, SAS, Commando). Women can serve as Combat Engineers, though not in Combat Engineer Squadrons and Explosive Ordinance Disposal squadrons.123 Within Navy, out of 184 categories: 180 categories are open to both men and women (97.8%), however only 118 categories have female members (65.6%) The positions from which women are currently restricted are Clearance Diver roles within various categories.

DI(G) PERS 32-1, note 118. CMDR A Westwood, email to the Review, 7 November 2011. SQNLDR F James, email to the Review, 1 February 2012: Defence also advised that there are restrictions currently in place on the women working in the Military Working Dog Handler mustering. Women, who comprise 22.5% of the MWDH mustering have been employed in this rolesince 1985, but have been unable to fulfil the Direct Combat Dutiesaspects of their role(specificallyoffensive or close combat operations). Defence stated that the removal of gender restrictions means those women will be able to fulfil the entire compliment of their roles. This will almost instantly provide an enhanced capability to Air Force. The majority of MWDH women involved in research and focus were very excited by the opportunity to perform this aspect of their role, having already proven themselves in this field. Female soldiers and officers may serve in the Royal Australian Artillery (RAA) Corps within Surveillance Aircraft Operator, Operator Weapon Locating Radar, Artillery Air Defender or related RAA officer employments currently only within Surveillance, Targeting and Acquisition. Full Time Combat Engineers (Combat Engineers are defined as those employed in Combat Engineer Regiments and does not include Construction Units, Engineer Design Units and Facilities Management Units, Geomatic Engineers and Illustrators).
