Reported at www.smartcompany.com.au: Minister Ed Husic announced the federal government’s commitment to implementing all 11 recommendations from the Pathway to Diversity in STEM Review, aimed at removing systemic barriers that hinder participation, particularly for women and underrepresented groups.

The review called for an holistic approach to diversity, including a dedicated advisory council, safer workplaces, and targeted programs to support these groups in STEM fields.

The Minister noted that ongoing exclusion is counterproductive as Australia seeks to create 200,000 additional tech jobs by 2030.
