The Office for Women works across government to place women and gender equality at the centre of policy and decision-making through gender-responsive budgeting and gender impact analysis.
To support the Australian Government’s gender equality priorities, the Office for Women is leading development of the National strategy to achieve gender equality and supporting the independent Women’s Economic Equality Taskforce.
The Office for Women administers the Women’s Leadership and Development Program (WLDP). This funds a range of projects to improve the lives of women and girls in Australia. This includes funding the six National Women’s Alliances who play a key role in understanding the experiences and issues affecting women in Australia. The alliances work with the Office for Women and across governments to ensure women’s voices are central in the policy development process.
