A Melbourne council has limited applications for a $63,000-a-year street sweeper job to people who identify as 'non-male'.
Darebin City Council, in Melbourne's northern suburbs, posted the Street Sweeper Operator vacancy on its website, with applications closing in mid September.
The advert states only women and non-binary or gender-nonconforming people are eligible for the job in order to achieve 'a diverse and inclusive organisation that reflects our community'.
