Women in Technology (WiT) Statement

 The Leaky Pipeline report is a wake-up call. Women make up just 20% of Australia’s highly technical workforce—and after 40, they leave at nearly twice the rate of men. This isn’t just a gender equity issue—it’s a national innovation challenge. At WiT, we believe every woman with the passion and skill for STEM deserves the opportunity to thrive. Let’s work together to close the gaps and build a future where talent—not gender—shapes Australia’s tech landscape.  ‍
