Leadership

Gender diversity in leadership delivers stronger outcomes for organisations and supports economic growth.

The Government is committed to increasing the number of women in leadership positions in the public and private sectors, including meeting our gender diversity target of women holding 50 per cent of Australian Government board positions overall.

We are also working with industry to increase women’s leadership in the private sector, which is the largest employer of Australian women.

We have partnered with organisations including Girl Guides Australia, Australian Institute of Company Directors, the Australian Sports Commission and Chief Executive Women, to provide nation-wide programs that support increasing the number of women in leadership positions.
