Pathways to Politics for Women is now a national program helping women get into politics whether that's at the local, state or national levels. If you're passionate about an issue and want to learn how your impact could be more wide-reaching - consider applying before 24 April!

Our Improving Democracy: Transforming Parliament for Women program is not just about learning; it’s about empowering women to drive change. 100% of participants report improvements in their power to influence and drive change within the political system. With over 1 in 4 women in NSW Parliament counting themselves as alumnae, this program is supporting a group of change-makers to create the conditions necessary for a more inclusive and representative democracy. The testimonials from our participants highlight the program’s transformative impact, illustrating how it equips women MPs with the skills, relationships and confidence needed to transform the culture of Parliament.
