What does Women in STEMM Australia do?

Women in STEMM Australia is a non-profit organisation established in 2014, dedicated to supporting women in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM). Founded by Dr. Marguerite Evans-Galea and Michelle Gallaher, it is one of the first independent organisations in Australia focused on advocating for women's equity and diversity in the STEMM sector. The organisation aims to connect, empower, and advocate for women and girls in STEMM, promoting equality in the workplace. It raises the profile of women in these fields by increasing visibility and providing role models. Women in STEMM Australia also expands professional networks, curates valuable resources, and engages the community through newsletters and updates. With a diverse network of over 40,000 STEMM professionals, the organisation serves all women in STEMM, including those who face discrimination based on gender or sexual identity.
