The 2012 Women's Report Card was recently released by the Hon Robyn McSweeney, Minister for Women's Interests. Developed by the Department for Communities, the report card details the statistical status of Western Australian women in a range of areas including leadership, safety and justice, economic independence and health and wellbeing. It is the fourth in the series which has measured women's progress since 2004.
The advancement of women into leadership positions continues to show very slow progress for the highest level positions across ASX 200 companies, universities public sector and local government. the report also highlights the increasing difference between the Western Australian and the total Australian gender pay gap with Western Australia currently standing at a 27.8% gap in 2011, compared with a national figure of 17.5%.
The report is available online and in hard copy. It aims to provide both general information and enable individuals and organisations to take advantage of the information and statistics to assist in policy and service delivery work. The full series of Women'e Report Cards are available to download from the Women's Interest section of the Department for Communities website.
