At the Department of Communities, the concept of People, Place and Home,
describes the essence of why the Department exists, and why its work is
important to everyone in Western Australia.
The Department works to advance opportunities, community participation and
the quality of life of the people it supports, with a clear focus on inclusion,
building resilience and meeting individual needs.
Priority areas for the Department’s Women’s Interests portfolio are the
promotion of women in leadership and the support of women’s economic
independence.
In practice, the Department partners with government and non-government
organisations to improve outcomes for women through scholarship programs
and at events such as CEDA’s Women in Leadership Series and the Skills
West Expo.
In addition, it delivers workshops on financial literacy and workforce
reengagement, provides support for the Techtrails school incursion program
and offers grants to community organisations to deliver women’s initiatives.
The Women’s Report Card is produced by the department every three years,
cataloguing Western Australia’s progress in key gender related issues.
WA Department of Communities has been a CEDA member since 2017.

Edith Cowan University
Twitter: @ECU
ECU is a young, progressive university with an enviable reputation for
teaching excellence. In 2019, and for the fourth year in a row, ECU received
the top undergraduate teaching quality ranking of all public universities in
Australia. This makes ECU one of just two public universities – and the only
one in WA – to have achieved such a consistently high endorsement for
teaching quality.
In 2018, ECU was one of 11 universities and one of only 15 organisations
nationally to achieve the internationally-recognised award of Bronze
Institutional Accreditation in the first pilot of the Athena SWAN Charter in
Australia. The University has also been awarded the Workplace Gender
Equality Agency Citation as an Employer of Choice for Gender Equality for the
last three years.
In 2019, ECU has been ranked sixth in the world for Gender Equality in the
new Times Higher Education (THE) University Impact Rankings. These
rankings show how the global higher education sector is contributing to the
achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
ECU’s Vice-Chancellor is a Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA)
Gender Pay Equity Ambassador, a CEO for Gender Equity (WA), and a
national Male Champion of Change in science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM).
ECU is a university that values diversity and is striving to be a beacon for
gender equality. This is why it is so meaningful that ECU is the only university
in Australia named after a woman; Edith Dircksey Cowan, the first woman
elected to an Australian Parliament, who believed education was the key to
removing barriers and whose life was dedicated to championing social reform.
ECU continues to strive for gender equality as an educator and an employer
to deliver social and economic benefits.
ECU has been a CEDA member since 1995.
