Women on Boards
The Queensland Government is committed to increasing the number of women on boards in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors.
Our research has shown that diversity of gender on boards provides financial, performance and social benefits.
A range of resources are available to assist in making a positive difference for gender parity in Queensland.
Key insights
Insight 1
Achieving board gender parity will increase productivity in Queensland by $87 million.
Insight 2
High performing boards consist of both men and women, are committed to diversity, and are highly inclusive.
Insight 3
Board commitment needs to remove barriers to result in concrete action.
Insight 4
Courageous decision-makers who step up and actively challenge the status quo will be the drivers of change in Queensland.
