Gender Equality at Department of Health and Aged Care
Our Gender Equality Network is a staff led network committed to supporting gender equality and flexible work by advocating for an inclusive culture.

Their vision is for all members of staff, regardless of gender or personal circumstances, to have the opportunity to fulfil their potential both personally and professionally. The Network is not a gender-exclusive network – all gender identities are welcome.
The GEN helps celebrate a number of events throughout the year including International Women’s Day and the Share the Dignity drive.
Health’s gender diversity initiatives include:
- Gender Equality Blueprint 2017-20
- Hours of Work and Flexibility Policy
- Home-based work guidelines
- Domestic and Family Violence Policy
