States and Territories

Policy at the State and Territory level

State and Territory Governments are individually responsible for the development of state-level women’s health policy in Australia. The policy landscape varies widely between the states in terms of: whether a policy exists, whether it is current, the content scope,  the infrastructure for policy development, and stakeholders involved.

States and Territories with a Government-funded women’s health program and/or peak body are more likely to have a infrastucture in place for the ongoing development of women’s health policy.

Tracking equity: Comparing outcomes for women and girls across Australia

10/21/2013/in Australia-wide, Other /by admin

Publisher: Council of Australian Governments. Reform Council, 21/10/2013

Status – CURRENT

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.
