Event overview
Join CEDA as we welcome Australian Human Rights Commission, Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Elizabeth Broderick, to the lectern for Part 1 of Western Australia's inaugural Women in Leadership Series.
Improving female representation is not just a concern for Western Australia, but nationally and globally. We know Australia is lagging behind other OECD countries, essentially highlighting a major productivity and international competitiveness issue. This event will investigate the national gender landscape to help stimulate change and shift ingrained thinking in relation to women in the workforce.
