Status of Women in Australia

A current and up-to-date website that links to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data and analyses on women in Australia would be very useful for advancing women's empowerment, recording trends and identifying areas which need addressing. This information would be useful to government, business, and the community sector and could also promote women's achievements internationally. A mockup of such an initiative has been created at

This mockup site details which ABS datasets can be used to develop the information for each section relating to women. Having such information in one online place that is easily accessible, up-to-date and relevant enables the community to be informed, proactive and empowered to address issues related to women.

I totally agree with Diann re: data analysis - thus showing growth and advancement for women's achievements.

Great I idea Diann

Thank you for this excellent idea Diann. Creating appropriate links to your website would also spread the word - particularly with traditional male domains of enterprise e.g. Chambers of Commerce and Industry etc.

The Office for Women created such a website about 5 years ago but it died in the ditch due to a number of reasons, but I always found the software difficult to use and it wasn't kept up-to-date. Now that the ABS has free data on their website the task would be much easier. There is state based sites similar to what you are suggesting as well. Promoting the site is so important so women know that it exists and therefore use it. Also don't just aim it at working women - older women and those women at home might find it useful as well.
