Understanding the landscape
Identifying Barriers and Driving Informed Action
The Gender Index Australia shows that commercial disparities for female-led businesses stem from key structural conditions, including access to capital, procurement opportunities, commercial networks and governance pathways. This creates a scale gap, where female-led enterprises face systemic hurdles to reaching their full economic potential.
Strengthening the evidence base around their experiences is vital to building pathways that support women in business through every stage of growth.
