Work and Education

Initiatives, projects, strategies and policy advice are provided by the Office for Women on a range of issues affecting women in the areas of work and education. 

The Australian Government Office for Women is striving to maximise the opportunities for women's economic development and security over their lifecycle. The Office also seeks to identify and address issues that impact adversely on women's economic security.

Economic security is essential to providing women with the ability to make choices about how they want to live their lives.

Women and girls are continuing their strong performance and participation in education and training.
