Comments attributable to Professor Teede:

“Embedding gender equality, diversity and inclusion in leadership is proven to deliver tangible benefits –enhancing organisational performance, improving ethical engagement, strengthening risk management, creating more equitable career pathways and improving women’s health outcomes. We’re calling for a renewed commitment backed by a clear rationale, urgent action and strategic vision to protect current progress, and to ensure that Australia remains a global leader.

“To accelerate leadership progress and build a health system that is fairer, safer and stronger for all, a paradigm shift is needed that moves the responsibility from individual women to collective, system-wide action. This requires coordinated, evidence-informed approaches through collaborative and&nbsp;<a href="https://health-policy-systems.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12961-020-0527-x" target="_blank">structural reform</a>, so together we can ensure that Australia remains a global leader in gender equity, diversity and inclusion and in generating benefits from these advances.”&nbsp;
