The Centre is united in its purpose to accelerate gender equity, diversity and women in leadership in healthcare, health and medical sciences and beyond, nationally and internationally. It brings together thought leaders and experts in gender equity, implementation science, organisational change management, data analytics, evaluation and leadership development.

Through shared vision, values and aims, we work collaboratively to coproduce and deliver a suite of evidence-based interventions, implementation strategies and evaluations tailored for and codesigned with partners to drive gender equity and measurably accelerate women, in all their diversity, in leadership in healthcare, health and medical sciences, and beyond.

Collectively, we advocate for policies and practices that drive better, safer and inclusive workplaces and enable, empower and elevate women from across the diversity spectrum into leadership and decision-making roles to improve organisational and system performance.

Hosted by the Monash Centre for Implementation and Health Research (MCHRI) and Monash University, The Centre integrates Advancing Women in Healthcare Leadership (AWHL) – the national gender equity and diversity initiative for the healthcare and health and medical sciences – and the leading Women in Leadership (WIL) Program. It is closely affiliated with the Monash Gender Equity Alliance bringing and connecting leading experts from law, business, economics, gender-based violence, healthcare and health and medical sciences, ICT and engineering to drive and sustain measurable improvements in gender equity and women in leadership in workplaces.
