Gender Equity Action Plan 2022-2027
Throughout history, the maritime industry and its workforce have often failed to mirror the diversity found within society, falling short in providing equitable opportunities for all individuals, particularly in terms of gender identity.
We recognise that we have an important role to play in driving gender equity across the industry and we are committed to leading by example.
Our plan targets key areas to advance AMSA towards a more gender equitable future.

Our progress
International Women’s Day 2024 was an opportunity for us to reflect on the achievements we have made so far.
We’re proud to say that we have completed 88% of our planned activities with all remaining activities on track to be delivered by 2027.
So far:
- we launched a gender neutral language working group to support and encourage the use of gender neutral language in the maritime sector
- the Australian Government's new Workplace Gender Equality Agency certified us as compliant with reporting requirements
- The Diversity Council Australia recognised us as an inclusive employer for 2023-24
- we co-hosted a major event to recognise International Day for Women in Maritime (attended by more than 160 people)
- representatives from every division participated in the Public Sector Women in Leadership Summit across Australia.
