Including Gender: An APS Guide to Gender Analysis and Gender Impact Assessment

3.1 What is Gender Impact Assessment?

Gender Impact Assessment is used by policy makers to advise on gendered impacts and design proposals that improve outcomes for gender equality, whether that is to mitigate differentiated or disproportionate gendered impacts, further boost positive impacts, or to target support for people with diverse and intersecting experiences. This supports government to identify and fund measures that close gender gaps and drive improvements for gender equality in-line with Working for Women.
