 Home : Australian Women in Leadership Census : 2004 Australian Women in Leadership Census

The results of the 2004 EOWA Australian Census of Women in Leadership were released on 5 October.

Undertaken in partnership with the Catalyst organisation in the United States (www.catalyst.org) and in collaboration with Macquarie University, the Censuses to determine the status of women in the most senior leadership positions for the top 200 organisations listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.

In 2002, the inaugural Census highlighted the under representation of women in Australian leadership and the subsequent under-utilisation of the talents of the vast female workforce. In 2003 and 2004 there has been little change. By quantifying the deficiency, we hope to inspire business leaders to think differently when making decisions about the next executive appointment.
