Seeking women with opinions for Rural Women's Summit!

Does your organisation know of an individual who is passionate about the issues facing rural women?

ERA is looking for a delegate to attend the Rural Women’s Summit as part of the National Rural Women Coalition’s Conference in February. The Summit is a gathering of approximately 60 women from across Australia to discuss issues affecting women in regional and remote areas.

Thanks to the Office for Women and the Rural Women’s Coalition, we are able to:

  • Fund the delegate’s registration for the entire conference (18-20 February); and
  • Cover the delegate’s accommodation and travel costs (to a maximum of $1,000).

The delegate would be required to participate in the Rural Women’s Summit on ERA’s behalf from 8:30 -4:30 on 20 February. Sponsorship is only available to individuals who have not already registered for the conference.

ERA must lodge the nomination form by Friday 25 January, so let us know at era@ywca.org.au ASAP if you know of someone who might be interested.

Landmark Gender Audit on Gender Diversity in Australia's community welfare sector

in

YWCA Australia, the Australian Council of Social Services, and Women on Boards have collaborated to release a gender diversity audit of Australia's not-for-profit community sector.

The audit has found that while the community sector does lead the way on women in senior positions and on boards, there is still work to do to ensure gender equality.

The study found women occupy 51% of all board director roles and 60% of senior management positions in the community sector. Interestingly, 76% of board roles and 80% of all senior management roles held by people aged 18-30 are occupied by women. But for those aged over 65, 67% of board roles and 55% of senior management positions are held by men.
