Women

Principles

The NSW Government is committed to working in partnerships with the community and using the resources and powers of Government to help improve the position of women and achieve social justice.

It continues to build on the achievements of the past 10 years in removing obstacles to women's full participation in society. Age, race, ethnicity, location and social and economic circumstances all affect women's needs and options.

The NSW Government is committed to:

• continuing its commitment to the principles of access, equity, rights and participation
• focussing on early intervention and prevention
• making services more accessible and responsive.

Overview

Some of the initiatives in NSW which make services more accessible and responsive to women include:

• The Premier's Council for Women
• The NSW Government Register of Boards and Committees
  

Lead Agency and Further Help
