Our federal government needs to show leadership in its promotion of equality, respect and safety for women at home, in the workplace, and the community. Empowering women’s workforce participation contributes to economic growth and prosperity. My priorities are:
- Funding programs to prevent discrimination, harassment and violence against women
- Better pay, training, and career paths for workers in childcare, disability support, and aged care
- Addressing gender inequity in wages and superannuation across all Australian workforces
- Affordable childcare and expanded access to early childhood education
