As part of the consultation period for the Committee, we heard from Delivery People across Australia.

After receiving feedback, we increased the overall number of Delivery People on the Committee by 67%. The National WHS Committee consists of 12 Health and Safety Representatives and 13 Delivery Person Representatives.

We also heard that the Committee should represent the diverse voices of delivery people (including diversity of gender and cultural background) and that Committee members should be selected on merit. To address this, Uber Eats selected the Delivery Person Representatives.

To ensure that Health and Safety Representatives and Delivery Person Representatives can adequately represent the views of their work group, they must be an active delivery person.

To be a Health and Safety Representative in the Australian Capital Territory the following eligibility criteria must be met:

a. hold an ‘active’ status’ on the Uber Eats Platform; and
b. have completed at least one Uber Eats’ delivery in the previous 6 months; and
c. have undertaken more than 50% of their deliveries within the specific workgroup.

The following eligibility criteria will apply for a Delivery Person to nominate themselves to be a Delivery Person Representative and to maintain the position ongoing:

• Must hold an active status on the Uber Eats platform; and
• Must have completed a minimum of 200 deliveries during their time as a delivery person; and
• Must complete an average of 100 deliveries per month; and
• Must have undertaken a delivery within their state in the last 90 days; and
• Must meet the mode requirement to deliver by car, motorbike or bicycle (where applicable).

Victorian health and safety legislation is different from legislation in other states, which means that delivery people are not eligible to become a Health and Safety Representative in their capacity as a delivery person using Uber Eats. There are currently 4 Delivery Person Representatives in Victoria. 3 out of the 4 positions in Victoria have been elected by delivery people.

During the consultation period, we received feedback from delivery people highlighting that diversity and selection based on merit are important factors when determining who represents them on health and safety matters.

Because of this, Uber Eats has selected the Delivery Person Representatives and used the following criteria as guidance (these are in no particular order): Diversity (including but not limited to gender and cultural background), if the individual nominated themselves to be a Health and Safety Representative but was the unsuccessful candidate, the overall number of votes they received from their peers during the online voting process, the delivery person’s submission in their nomination form and video submission.
