Women In Leadership Working Group

The Women in Leadership Working Group continued working to their work plan, and this financial year saw the launch of the inaugural CAA Women in Leadership Scholarship.

The group are keen to progress work on a career progression checklist, and will look to include points like mentoring, sponsorship and pathway recommendations.

CAA's Women in Leadership Scholarship was open for submission in March 2022 The purpose of the scholarship is to encourage women to step into leadership roles and to support the development of current women leaders in the Ambulance Services Sector.

A total of 121 scholarship applications were received, with the prize kindly donated by Total Coaching Academy Australia for a 1-year coaching program with their CEO Julie Piantadosi

The group oversees the CAA Workforce and Gender Data Collection which is run annually to gather insight from the sector on progression of women in ambulance.

The second CAA Women in Ambulance Survey designed to capture data and feedback from women working in the sector is set to run later in 2022.
