The Jobs and Skills Summit has delivered a raft of recommendations, and a number of them relate to BPW Australia’s resolutions and advocacy campaigns, including gender pay equity, affordable accessible childcare, pay transparency, flexible working, addressing older women's homelessness, super on paid parental leave, and removing barriers to women entering the workforce..

An Issues Paper was disseminated prior to the Summit and the Outcomes Document was released immediately after the Summit listing immediate actions and areas for further work.  Both are informative and accessible documents, worth reading.

The Summit discussed the cost of childcare which means many women with young children receive no financial benefit if they return to work full time. The ABC reports the federal government will provide higher childcare subsidies for more families from July next year, but advocacy groups and unions wanting those changes brought forward ramped up pressure ahead of the Summit.
