New Program Levels Playing Field for Women in Australia
The Albanese Government is making workplaces safer, more respectful and more equitable for women, particularly for those working in traditionally male-dominated industries, with 11 new projects announced under the Advancing Gender Equality in Gender Segregated Industries program.
The workplace and industry-level initiatives will be led by peak organisations representing employers and workers, who will share in $16.9 million as part of the tripartite pilot.
Examples of successful projects include initiatives that will work directly with employers to ensure facilities support women’s workforce participation, create industry-specific toolkits so employers can create flexible working arrangements, and conduct on-the-ground surveys and research to identify what change is needed.
