WA is one of the first jurisdictions in Australia to introduce a gender equality clause into selected public sector procurement processes

Women deserve to live and work safely in a community where diversity is embraced and where access to rights, resources, opportunities and protections is not determined by gender.

This is why we’re proud to be a part of the 15 agencies taking part in the Gender Equality in Procurement: WA Public Sector Pilot, to embed gender equality principles and practices into procurement activities.

Evidence shows that there are positive outcomes when businesses start to take visible action.
