We’re committed to improving gender equality
It’s a priority of NSW Government to improve the gender equality of our supply chain. Increasing women’s economic opportunities benefits women, families, and the economy.
Lifting the rate of women’s paid workforce participation to equal men’s over the next 20 years would increase employment growth and lead to an NSW economy that is 8% larger by 2061; the equivalent of increasing household income by $22,000 (in 2019–20 dollars).
