Leadership and community

Women play a significant role in our communities contributing through volunteering and as social and business entrepreneurs.

The Queensland Government wants to see women's participation in leadership, decision-making and community building increased by providing a range of flexible strategies and initiatives to support these activities which can be adapted to meet the specific needs of women with disabilities, Indigenous women and migrant and refugee women.

Get Involved!

It is important that women are involved in decision-making at all levels of our society. The Queensland Government through the Get Involved website offers a variety of ways in which you can become active, engaged and connected in different aspects of your community.

This includes community forums and consultation, volunteering and even being a member of the Public Gallery when parliament sits.

The website also offers you the opportunity to:

  • Make contact with your local Member of Parliament
  • Comment on Queensland Government policies and initiatives
  • Sign an existing ePetition or
  • Create your very own ePetition

Get involved has a diverse range of learning experiences in which you can explore. The choice of how, when and where you wish to get involved is yours.
