If you live and/or work in Tasmania, please take a few minutes to fill out a baseline survey to help us better understand workplace gender equity in our state.
Gender Equity Works is a Unions Tasmania project focused on improving safety, inclusion, and opportunity for women in workplaces across Tasmania.
We're looking for individuals, employers, and unions to pilot our FREE training courses and tools! No matter where you are in Tasmania, our team can work with you either on-site or virtually.
We're offering:
Self-paced online training modules
Custom in-person or virtual training workshops (including for rural/remote areas)
Guided gender equity audits
Online resource library
We particularly want to work with people and organisations in male-dominated industries and/or where the proportion of women in the frontline workforce is not reflected in management or executive roles.
Tasmanian workplaces are reaching a turning point, with experienced workers retiring and young people continuing to leave and seek opportunities on the mainland. Many industries risk labour shortages and loss of critical skills, and too many are missing out on the full talent pool - especially in sectors where women remain underrepresented.
Investing in gender equity benefits everyone by creating safer, fairer, and more productive environments. And that will also help employers attract and retain much-needed talent and give skilled workers a reason to stay.
Our research is still ongoing! If you live and/or work in Tasmania, please take our baseline survey to help us better understand workplace gender equity in our state.
The project's initial research phase wrapped up in early 2026 with a comprehensive report. The report captures the lived experiences of women working in gender-segregated industries, identify key themes around gender equity in Tasmanian workplaces, and provides practical recommendations for employers, unions, and policymakers.

Led by Unions Tasmania, Gender Equity Works is funded through the Advancing Gender Equality in Gender Segregated Industries grant with the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations and is supported by the ACTU. The program will run through June 2028 and will provide free public access to all materials.
