The Women in STEM Ambassador is an Australian Government initiative to address gender inequities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Led by Professor Lisa Harvey-Smith and based at the University of New South Wales, the Office of the Women in STEM Ambassador influences and mobilises Australia’s business leaders, educators and policymakers to increase the participation of women and girls in STEM.
A message from Australia’s Women in STEM Ambassador
My vision is to make STEM a place for everyone. To achieve that, my team and I work on initiatives that are evidence-informed and focused on impact. There is something for everyone here, from our STEM careers education program Future You, to a suite of tools to support equity in workplaces. I’m glad you’re here. Together, we can make an impact and achieve equity in STEM.
