Achieving Women's Equality

In reply to Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (3 August 2016). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON (Ramsay—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): I have been advised:

There is not a specific allocated budget for initiatives developed under Achieving Women's Equality.

Achieving Women's Equality provides guiding principles for government departments to achieve positive change for women through its three pillars of action – improving women's economic status, increasing women's leadership and participation, and improving women's wellbeing and safety. As such, it influences and guides a number of other specific budget lines.
