The Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Reform Council has played a critical role in tracking progress, nationally and on a state-by-state basis, against the COAG reform agenda. The council has analysed and publicly reported on governments’ performance against outcomes, performance indicators and targets agreed by COAG. However, until 2013 gender analysis was not directly incorporated in the assessment of governments’ performance. The council’s first report on gender, Tracking equity: Comparing outcomes for women and girls across Australia, redressed this omission.
