At the Department of Communities, the concept of People, Place and Home, describes the essence of why the Department exists, and why its work is important to everyone in Western Australia.

The Department works to advance opportunities, community participation and the quality of life of the people it supports, with a clear focus on inclusion, building resilience and meeting individual needs.

Priority areas for the Department’s Women’s Interests portfolio are the promotion of women in leadership and the support of women’s economic independence.

In practice, the Department partners with government and non-government organisations to improve outcomes for women through scholarship programs and at events such as CEDA’s Women in Leadership Series and the Skills West Expo.

In addition, it delivers workshops on financial literacy and workforce reengagement, provides support for the Techtrails school incursion program and offers grants to community organisations to deliver women’s initiatives.

The Women’s Report Card is produced by the department every three years, cataloguing Western Australia’s progress in key gender related issues.

ECU is a young, progressive university with an enviable reputation for teaching excellence. In 2019, and for the fourth year in a row, ECU received the top undergraduate teaching quality ranking of all public universities in Australia. This makes ECU one of just two public universities – and the only one in WA – to have achieved such a consistently high endorsement for teaching quality.

In 2018, ECU was one of 11 universities and one of only 15 organisations nationally to achieve the internationally-recognised award of Bronze Institutional Accreditation in the first pilot of the Athena SWAN Charter in Australia. The University has also been awarded the Workplace Gender Equality Agency Citation as an Employer of Choice for Gender Equality for the last three years.

In 2019, ECU has been ranked sixth in the world for Gender Equality in the new Times Higher Education (THE) University Impact Rankings. These rankings show how the global higher education sector is contributing to the achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). ECU’s Vice-Chancellor is a Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) Gender Pay Equity Ambassador, a CEO for Gender Equity (WA), and a national Male Champion of Change in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

ECU is a university that values diversity and is striving to be a beacon for gender equality. This is why it is so meaningful that ECU is the only university in Australia named after a woman; Edith Dircksey Cowan, the first woman elected to an Australian Parliament, who believed education was the key to removing barriers CEDA will be tweeting from this and whose life was dedicated to championing social reform.
