The NSLHD advancing women in medical leadership initiative aims to support an increase in the representation of women in medical leadership positions across the organisation.
At NSLHD, women currently represent only 29 per cent of senior staff specialists, 34 per cent of visiting medical officers (VMOs) and 38 per cent of heads of department. Our organisation is working with women medical leaders on how to support and inspire the next generation of leaders to increase the number of women in senior medical leadership to 40:40:20* in senior medical leadership roles by 2027 (*40% men, 40% women, 20% of any gender).
This initiative focuses on reducing the potential barriers that exist for women progressing into medical leadership, and developing a series of initiatives interventions and resources that support an increase in representation.
This page is a hub for the medical workforce at NSLHD to access a range of resources and opportunities relating to leadership development and progression through the medical career pipeline.
We offer employees of all genders an opportunity to join NSLHD’s Advancing Women in Medical Leadership (AWiML) Group which delivers a range of initiatives that improve gender balance in senior medical roles across all specialities at NSLHD.
