Why a registration system for women?

The Australian Government recognises that women can make a difference and positively influence important decisions in their community. AppointWomen is aimed at raising the awareness that there is a pool of talented women who are actively seeking appointment to an Australian Government board or other decision-making body.

Significant trends have shown that companies with women as board members excel in many areas, including exporting of goods and services. Boards with a greater diversity of skills, perspectives and knowledge will enhance decision-making processes for the Australian Government.

The experiences gained will offer excellent professional development and networking opportunities, which can benefit both career progression and business advancement.
