Working for Women: A Strategy for Gender Equality outlines the Australian Government's vision for gender equality – an Australia where people are safe, treated with respect, have choices, and have access to resources and equal outcomes no matter their gender.

Launched in March, the Strategy sets out 6 guiding principles and a path to make progress towards this vision over the next 10 years, with a focus on 5 priority areas.

1.     gender-based violence

2.     unpaid and paid care

3.     economic equality and security

4.     health

5.     leadership, representation and decision-making.

It outlines the need for everyone to work together to shift the attitudes and stereotypes that drive gender inequality.  A good place to start is the chart at a glance.  The easiest way to review the strategy is here.

The Strategy is the centrepiece of the Government’s gender equality policy. It clearly sets out Government’s priorities and current actions for gender equality, and articulates future areas for effort.
